Princess Penne came in because her owner could no longer take care of her. She is a little bit of an older girl and she has had puppies in the past. She is very sweet and gets along well with Turbo Tortellini who came in with her. Penne seems well behaved and house broken and just needs another chance to find a loving family. If you love a short, stocky dog, fill out an application and come see her! Visit Princess Penne at the Venango County Humane Society from noon to 5 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays.
