Penny, the pregnant yellow Lab mix who stole thousands of Lawrence hearts in February when she went missing from her humane society foster parents, had her puppies in early March.

The runaway dog who captured Lawrence’s attention in February wandered away from a second foster home Thursday, but Saturday evening she was once again reported found.

The Lawrence Humane Society posted on its Facebook page:

“PENNY IS SAFE!!! We have her and she is on her way back to the shelter. HUGE thank you to volunteer Becca and the LHS staff and countless volunteers who have worked tirelessly to get our gal back!”

Penny, a nearly 2-year-old yellow Labrador retriever mix, inspired a local social media movement after running away while pregnant in mid-February. Despite a number of sightings, it took several days to capture Penny, who is extremely timid following her rescue from poor living conditions in southeastern Kansas.

“We found that the last time, it was better for us to track her and go out with people she knew and trusted. When we did that, she came right to us,” Lawrence Humane Society Director Kate Meghji said.

Penny gave birth to six healthy puppies in early March. Those puppies were weaned and placed in another foster home, Meghji said.
