About Penelope

Penelope is a sweet, 5.5-6 year old female mixed breed dog weighing around 43 pounds. She's experienced significant challenges in her past, leading to her needing a stable, patient home where she can flourish. Due to her history, she should be the only pet in the home, as she does not get along with other dogs or cats. Despite her past, Penelope is resilient and has a playful spirit. She absolutely loves toys and enjoys being with people. An active home would suit her well, as she has a lot of energy and simply adores playtime. Because she’s had a tough life, she would benefit from older, considerate children who understand her needs. Genesee County Animal Control has her vet needs covered—she is spayed, vaccinated, and ready for adoption. Come meet her Tuesday through Friday from 12-6 pm or Saturday from 10 am - 2 pm. If you’re looking for a loyal companion, Penelope is waiting for you to take the next step. Ready to make her yours? Apply today!
