(05/21/2022) Penelope, or as her foster mom lovingly calls her, the “Little Pink Pig” is as cute as they come! Penelope may be a bit of a lap dog, despite her 50-pound frame! She loves cuddling up on your lap, chest, or even your shoulder as if she thinks she is a little parrot. And when she’s feeling extra silly, expect a few sweet licks and wet-willies! Her unique markings give her what almost looks like a crooked little heart shaped nose! Her short hair means you can see her pink skin underneath, especially on her cute belly! She also has the most fabulous white eyelashes!
Penelope is a confident, loving girl who is all about being the center of attention and would thrive in a home where she’s the only pet. She loves getting all of the attention and will wedge her way through her other foster siblings to get closest to her foster mom for more love and pats. If there are other other dogs in her forever home, her family will need to understand she’s the queen of the castle. She’s a strong and independent lady who requires slow introductions to new furry friends as well as proper and monitered play time because she can get a little too rough.
She’s ready to give you endless love and loyalty for many years to come. Penelope has a loving, protective side and adores her people. She will have a strong bond with her family.
Other noteworthy and great things about Penelope; she is house trained and crate trained. She also enjoys car rides but may try and share the front seat with you if she isn't securely fastened in her seat. Wherever you take her, she is bound to get attention from friends and strangers alike! She just has the face and the smile that radiates joy and people are naturally attraacted to her. She loves everyone she meets and is happy to get a little bit more love and affection! Penelope does love going on walks but needs more leash practice because she is strong and can pull, so hold on tight and be prepared to work with her on
A family with kids who want a snuggle bug and a little playmate would be good as long as the children are older/bigger just because Penelope may accidently knock over little ones.
As part of Penelope’s $300 adoption fee, she will be spayed, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and current on her monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives.
