About Penelope

Penelope is a gentle soul in need of love and patience. Rescued from a porch in Girard, she’s arrived at a new world that overwhelms her. Though her eyes tell a story of fear and uncertainty, you can see the desire to trust. She weighs about 48 pounds and has a lovely short coat. Right now, she’s timid, often with her tail tucked, watching everything around her with big, hopeful brown eyes. Though she hasn’t been officially tested with other dogs or cats, she seems calm around the dogs at the shelter, though a meet and greet will be required with any resident pets. We recommend a home with older, respectful children since she needs a calm environment while adjusting. Penelope is house trained and vaccinated but not yet altered. She’s looking for someone who can take the time to show her she’s safe and loved. With a little patience, she’ll blossom into the sweet companion she’s meant to be. If you believe you can provide Penelope the secure and nurturing home she deserves, apply today to meet her!
