Say hi to Pennywise!
Pennywise is a three-year-old Pitbull weighing roughly 65 pounds. He is looking for a family to call his own.
Pennywise has lots of energy and will need some basic training. He gets so excited to meet new people but it's best if he goes to a home with no other animals. He hasn't had the chance to meet any children yet but he can be rambunctious so a meet and greet is necessary.
