PENELOPE - CHIHUAHUA / DACHSHUND / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Dachshund / Mixed (medium coat). Meet Penelope! She is a one year old Chiweenie with maybe a little spaniel in her, judging by the silky hair on her ears. This gorgeous little fox came into the shelter pregnant and gave birth to two babies. Sadly one passed shortly after birth, so she has poured all of her love and energy into raising her sweet baby girl Polly. At just 15 pounds, Penelope is a petite beauty with her striking red coat, classic puppy dog eyes, and gentle, observant nature. She may be shy at first, preferring to quietly watch and learn, but once she trusts you, she blossoms into a tail wagging, kiss giving little love. Penelope is fully potty pad trained, quiet, and would do well even in an apartment without a yard. She enjoys having her tummy and silky ears rubbed while being told just how gorgeous she is. After a rough start in life, Penelope is ready for her forever family—a calm, gentle, and predictable home where she can feel safe, relax, and finally just be a dog. She has never learned to walk on a leash and can be very timid. She will need a very patient home where someone is willing to go at a slow pace to earn her trust. Let’s find this stunning mama the loving home she so deserves! If you are interested in adopting, please visit the I.C.A.R.E.
