About Penelope

Penelope turns normal routines upside down. This Lab-Bully mix is a perpetual energy source with the kind of silly charisma that leaves everyone equal parts baffled and smitten. She’s never not in play mode—“chill” isn’t even in her vocabulary. Licking walls is a genuine hobby, and her surprising, joyful outbursts (sometimes including hilarious smacking fits) will keep you on your toes and laughing daily. If you like your pets animated, Penelope brings the full sound and squeak spectrum. Dogs are her scene. She thrives among canine buddies and loves a lively play session. Cats, on the other hand, should probably steer clear—her energy would bowl them over. Households with older kids who appreciate a goofball will love her. Penelope is already spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped, so she’s ready to get on with her next act. If you want a dog who’s equal parts chaos and charisma, and you’re up for the fun, this is your girl. Come see why boring never stood a chance. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
