Penelope is a 4 year old mixed breed! She has the cutest ears that mostly stand up but then flop over at the very top. Her little tail curls up when she walks around. She has some goofy teeth in the front that don't quite line up! She is very smart. She learned sit and down in 10 minutes! What to expect when bringing Penelope home: Investigating- Penelope will explore every inch of your house Cuddlebug- Penelope loves to cuddle and sleeps in funny postions while cuddling House trained- Penelope knows to go potty outside Loves walks- Penelope walks well on the leash. She pulls at first but will settle and walk by your side after a few minutes Loves doggy friends- Penelope does great meeting new dogs. She will smell them but then loses interest and starts exploring. Food motivated- Penelope will do just about anything for a treat Trusted in house- I've trusted Penelope in my house faster than any foster. She knows what to play with and what to leave alone. I leave my shoes out and bathroom doors open with zero worries! Penelope would do best in a home with older kids. She is very friendly but seeks out attention in her own time. She is NOT shy. She is a girls girl and never lets her people go to the potty or shower by themself. She follows you around with her adorable ears and soulful eyes locked on you at all times. She would be a wonderful companion dog. She loves her people more than her doggy siblings. She sleeps in her crate at night. She will softly whine when first crated (maybe 30 seconds of whinning) but settles and goes to sleep once you are in bed. She loves to lay at her people's feet or cuddle on the couch. She suffers from mild allergies which can easily be treated with one pill in the morning (~$2 per day). She gets car sick but it's completely preventable when given an anti-nausea pill one hour before the car ride. The pill is good for 24 hours so Penelope is ready for adventures! Penelope is fully vaccinated, spayed, and ready for adoption. UPDATE: Penelope has recently discovered how fun doggy toys are. ************************************************************ The adoption fee is $400, which covers vetting, microchip and the spay/neuter surgery performed by a rescue-affiliated vet.
