About Penelope

Penelope's journey to safety began with a challenging rescue from a fence, showcasing her resilience despite being just eight months old. Since arriving at the shelter, she has thrived, making friends with a variety of personalities. This energetic pup absolutely loves being around other dogs, whether they’re older and laid-back or young and playful. With her high energy levels, Penelope needs a fenced yard, a kiddie pool, and engaging play sessions each day, paired with consistent training. Without proper outlets, her energy can lead to mischief. However, this clever and fun-loving girl is incredibly trainable and promises to be a wonderful companion. The adoption fee is $275, covering her spay, vaccines, dewormer, and microchip. While we work on potty training, families should expect some transitions in the new home.
