About Penelope

Meet Penelope, a sweet 3-year-old spayed female papillon mix. This charming girl adores snuggling and has a particular fondness for squeaky toys. Her previous owners noted that she was generally quiet at home and gets along well with both a cat and an older child. Currently, Penelope isn’t house trained. It seems that the idea of going outside for her potty needs hasn’t quite clicked yet. She enjoys her time outdoors but often returns indoors to do her business. With a bit of patience and dedication to potty training, Penelope could become a delightful companion for the right person. If you’re interested, she’s ready to meet you at the Howard County Animal Control and Adoption Center in Columbia, MD. Make sure to check her availability before visiting! What are you waiting for?
