🌟 About Penelope

Age: 3 Years
Weight: 42 lbs
Breed: Medium Mixed Breed
Penelope arrived at our shelter as a confined animal on February 6, 2024, and has been with us for 22 heartwarming days. In her time here, she's shown us just how wonderful she truly is, and now she's ready to find her forever home.

🐕 Personality Insights
Penelope can be described as a blend of sweet serenity and joyful playfulness. Initially, she might present a hint of cautiousness, but give her a moment, and she'll reveal her true, loving nature. Her favorite pastime? A spirited game of fetch in the yard, where she can showcase her agility and zest for life.

🐾 Behavioral Traits
Kennel: Excitable yet slightly cautious, adapting to shelter life with grace.
Leash: A dream on the leash, she strolls with elegance, free of pulling.
Possession: Shows a bit of resistance but is willing to share her toys after some gentle persuasion.
Social Touch: While she doesn't actively seek out affection, she's receptive and appreciative of gentle strokes and kind words.
Interactions: Penelope is selective with her canine companions, preferring the company of calmer dogs, showing patience and tolerance even towards the more spirited ones.

🌈 Why Penelope Could Be Your Perfect Match
If you're looking for a dog who balances playful energy with moments of calm, Penelope could be the one. She's handler-focused, a trait that promises great potential for further training, especially if treats are involved. Once Penelope bonds with you, she's your loyal friend for life, eager to please and ready to join in on all your adventures.

💖 Ready for Adoption
Penelope is spayed, heartworm negative, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped. All she needs now is a loving home where she can thrive and share her abundant love. If you're ready to open your heart to this beautiful girl, visit us and meet your new best friend!

Let Penelope roll into your life and heart. Come meet her and see if she's the companion you've been looking for!
