Penelope

3 years, spayed female, 19 lbs

Chug mix

Looking for an energetic furry friend with Yoda ears and an underbite? Penelope fits the bill! This happy girl is ready to accompany you on all of life’s adventures.

Likes and Hobbies: She’s happy doing anything you’re doing! She’s a curious, confident, playful, adventurous, very trainable companion. She enjoys anything active, she’s got lots of energy! She would appreciate a dog sibling who isn’t afraid to play, run, and play some more. She likes car rides and does great on walks. She loves toys, warm laps, and especially food!

Ideal Home Must-Haves: Penelope needs a patient new family willing to do further training to help her learn good manners. Her “stranger danger” instincts are on-point, she will bark at new people and needs slow introductions. She is very food motivated and eager to please, and responds well to redirection. She is good around older dog-savvy kids, but untested with cats. After she knows you, before you know it she’s your new Velcro bestie.

The Lowdown: Penelope is potty trained in her foster home, but may need to re-adjust when in new surroundings. She very quickly learned to use a doggie door. She sleeps all night in her crate after a few minutes of initial protest. Despite the short legs, Penelope is an Olympic-level high jumper, and can jump out of x-pens and over kiddie gates without even touching them!

Penelope is available for private meet and greets after adoption applications are approved.

To further inquire about PENELOPE, submit an application.

Tell us about yourself, family, other pets, and how PENELOPE will mesh with your lifestyle. Qualifying applicants will be contacted by our Adoption Coordinator with next steps and an opportunity to set up a Meet & Greet.

Our process is NOT a “first come, first served” process. (We DO NOT hold pets for later consideration.) Our team carefully reviews and interviews applicants for the best possible fit for each adoptable pet, and potential family. Submitting an application does not guarantee a call or response from our rescue. Our volunteers will screen the applications and reach out if it is determined to be a good fit.

We look forward to facilitating a positive and solid adoption for PENELOPE, as well as her future family.
