The name's Moneypenny. Miss Moneypenny. Like her namesake she can quickly be totally devoted to the, uh, agent, she admires. She wants your affection, and quite enjoys the occasional hug or kiss . . . but please let her initiate it.

Moneypenny is an active older girl. She enjoys hiking on leash and doesn't complain about the car ride to the trailhead. She likes to stay away from noisy, high-traffic areas.

She also likes the freedom of a fenced yard, so we are hoping for that. On hot summer days, she enjoys dipping herself in the kiddie pool. (Check out the photo!) She prefers cool temps and likes to rest in the shade when outside. Inside, she would rather be on the cooler floors downstairs than managing the stairs to the second floor to sleep on her dog bed.

Although Penny is happy to hop up on the furniture if you let her, she doesn't mind being told No. When it's time for dinner, and if her foster dad happens to be at his computer, she will stick her head under his elbow to let him know!
We feed her in her crate because she is a bit possessive about her food, and doesn't like it when people or other dogs are watching her eat. Other than that, she gets along very well with the resident older dog. As she is respectful of belongings, she hasn't needed to be crated other than at mealtimes.

Penny responds well to voice commands, and had already been taught to sit and shake. She has not expressed any particular interest in toys. Penny is looking for a quiet home where there is not a lot of activity.
