Join Pennygirl, the brave rescue dog, on her heartwarming journey from a farm in Texas, USA, to the city's dog shelter, after her beloved owner can no longer care for her and the farm. Pennygirl's life is turned upside down as she struggles to overcome feelings of fear, uncertainty and loneliness at the shelter. Missing her siblings, farmyard pets and humans, Pennygirl wonders if she'll have to stay at the shelter for good. With love and compassion and the help of Niagara Dog Rescue, are second chances possible? Will Pennygirl find a new Forever Home?
