About Penelope

Penelope almost became just another puppy in an already overwhelmed shelter, but her luck turned when Dani spotted her at the surrender window. Now at 5 months old, she’s fully vetted, spayed, microchipped, and on her way to being potty trained. This tiny girl is fearless and loves engaging with other dogs. She adores kids and enjoys outings – whether at the beach or restaurants – and wants to stay close to her family. While she’s still mastering her puppy manners, her affectionate and confident nature shines through. A household with another playful dog would be her dream come true. Located in Littlerock, CA, she is ready to find her forever home. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
