About Penelope

Penelope is a sweet and cuddly girl who adores her people. This true Velcro dog loves to be by your side, whether she's following you around or curling up for a cozy nap nearby. Well-behaved in her crate, she enjoys it, especially when her family is away. Penelope thrives on a consistent schedule, needing potty breaks three times daily to avoid accidents in the house. Currently, she happily coexists with two cats, respecting their boundaries and only interacting when invited. She also gets along well with other dogs but has yet to meet children, so that remains an open question. This loyal companion would be an excellent fit for a loving family. If you're looking for a dog who enjoys closeness and companionship, consider Penelope. Located in Houston, she can be transported to most states for a $300 fee. Ready to meet your new best friend?
