Here's what the humans have to say about me:
PENELOPE – Mexi-Mix / 3 years / 8.4kg / F-Spayed
Hi there, I'm Penelope, and I'm on a mission to find my perfect forever home! Even though I'm just three years old, I have a calm and relaxed demeanor that gives the impression of wisdom beyond my years as a dog. I absolutely love taking in the world around me and find pure happiness during my leisurely walks.
I am an affectionate pup and a big fan of cuddles. I also have this curiosity that makes me interested in meeting people more than other dogs. I'm totally OK with being the only dog in your home, but I do need my humans around most of the time. Or, here's an idea: if you can take me to your office, that would be awesome!
You won't have to worry about house training because I've got that covered. And every day, I'm getting better and better on my leash skills. So, imagine the fun we'll have exploring the world together during our walks. Just so you know, crates are not my thing, I'd much prefer a soft dog bed to sleep in.
I should mention that I would prefer a home with older kids or no kids at all. That way, I can enjoy a quiet and easy-going environment where I can truly be myself. I've even passed my cat test in Mexico, so if you have any furry feline friends, it's all good with me. As for other dogs, I'm pretty independent and don't pay them much attention, with that said if you have another dog in the home, I'd be cool with it but know that you'll be my bestest friend!
