Penelope is a gentle little Chihuahua ready to find her forever home. At 5 years old and approximately 11 lbs, she carries a quiet soul, having come a long way from a hoarding situation. While she's not aggressive, her timid nature means she requires a patient and understanding adopter who can let her build trust at her own pace. In a calm, predictable environment, Penelope enjoys soft blankets and cozy spots where she can feel secure. She has started to accept gentle pets from those she trusts, thriving best when not under pressure. An experienced adopter or foster who understands fearful dogs will help her celebrate small victories as she continues to blossom. Penelope deserves a warm home where she can grow and heal. With time, patience, and kindness, she has the potential to flourish into a loving companion. She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and house trained. What are you waiting for?
