About Penelope

Penelope is a delightful, cuddly girl who thrives on companionship and loves to be close to her family. She's a true Velcro dog, always eager to follow you around the house or curl up beside you for a cozy nap. Crate trained, she actually prefers her crate when her family is away and does best with a consistent routine that includes potty breaks three times a day to prevent accidents. Currently, she shares her home with two cats and respects their space, only interacting when they approach her. Penelope is also good with other dogs and would bring joy to any loving family looking for a devoted companion. She hasn't been around children yet, so that aspect is still unknown. Penelope is in Houston but can be transported to most states for a $300 fee. She would make a wonderful addition to any home—ready to offer love and loyalty!
