About Penelope
Meet Penelope! Penelope is a shy yet affectionate 1-year-old, 17-pound Jack Russell Terrier mix searching for a quiet place to call home. After her owner surrendered her, she needs a patient adopter who can help her build trust in a calm environment. Initially, Penelope may be hesitant with new people and bustling scenes. Sheβs not the type to jump into the spotlight; rather, she requires gentle encouragement and space to feel safe. However, once she warms up, her playful and loving nature shines through. Penelope adores cuddling and being close to her people. Having a friendly, confident dog companion would help her feel more secure, making her even more playful. While she's crate trained and spayed, she's still learning the ropes of house training, so her new family should be ready for lots of positive reinforcement and routine. Ideal for a quieter home, Penelope will flourish with understanding people who appreciate her sensitive side. Nightly cuddle sessions on the couch and a consistent routine will mean more to her than the busiest festivals. If youβre seeking a companion who will reward your patience with a deep bond, Penelope is ready for her next chapter. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
