About Penelope
Meet Penelope. Penelope is a charming 6.5-year-old Miniature Schnauzer who brings a big personality to her small frame, weighing just over 10 pounds. Originally hailing from Texas, she came into rescue after her family faced the tough choice to surrender her following a serious jaw injury. Despite her past, Penelope has shown remarkable resilience and is eager for a fresh start. Having overcome her jaw injury, she can now happily enjoy both hard and soft food. This little girl is now focused on embracing love, safety, and companionship. As she adapts to her new surroundings, she seeks the comfort of knowing where her humans are. Penelope loves being close to her people and is gradually building her confidence as she learns to trust. Affectionate and charming, Penelope is not shy about asking for attention. She will thrive with someone patient who understands that consistency and routine play crucial roles in building her confidence. When it comes to other dogs, she prefers those that respect her space. Chill, low-key dogs suit her best, but she may truly shine as the only dog, soaking up all the love and attention. An older, relaxed dog could also be a wonderful match. As Penelope adjusts to her new life, giving her ample time to settle will be key. Sheβs looking for a loving home that will offer her the patience and support she needs to feel secure and understood. With kindness and time, Penelope has the potential to transform into a loyal companion. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let's get started.
