PENNIE Pennie is too cute. She had a home but her owner fell ill and now she is looking for a new home. This gorgeous gal is up to date on shots, microchipped, spayed and ready to go! ELSY Elsy is an adult terrier mix. She had a rough start in life, but holds no grudges. When Elsy was first brought to the shelter, she was dirty, exhausted, had just recently had puppies and was suffering from mastitis. She was very hungry and starting to become emaciated as well. She is very grateful for the care she received and is always eager to show everyone that by snuggling and giving them kisses. She is strong on the leash and doesn't know any commands yet, but does take treats gently. Elsy is sometimes a bit shy at first, but she's starting to learn…
