Hi, I’m Penny – but you can call me Penne Pasta, Noodlehead, or just Pen Pen! ?

Once upon a time, I was training to become a service dog with Canine Companions, but I discovered my true calling was in being a joyful, adventurous family pup (with a future in therapy work—bring on the cuddles!). Now, I'm proud to lend my tail-wagging support to those incredible dogs who do become life-changing companions.

I'm participating in DogFest Seattle to raise funds for Canine Companions—because dogs are awesome, and their mission is even awesomer. They provide expertly trained ervice dogs to adults, children, and veterans with disabilities entirely free of charge.

Each dog learns up to 45 helpful commands and brings unmatched independence, comfort, and joy to their person. Whether it's helping someone open doors, retrieve dropped items, or simply making them feel safe in the world again—these dogs are superheroes with wagging tails.

This National Service Dog Month, I’m raising funds in honor of the amazing pups who are out there changing lives—and to support the next generation of puppies-in-training.

Help me support a future full of independence, one paw at a time. ?
