Penny and Ashley

Penny was surrendered to the Shelter on February 4th when her owner passed away and she needed a new family to love her. Penny is a very sweet, good dog. However, when she was brought to the Shelter the comment was made that she looked more like a Pot-Bellied Pig than a Dachshund, weighing in at 40 pounds on arrival. The average size for a Standard Dachshund is eight to nine inches tall, 16-32 pounds, with a life expectancy of 12-16 years.
