Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Penelope was the last dog we were able to rescue from a severe hoarding situation. She had spent her entire life shut inside a small shed—no access to the outdoors, no fresh air, and no meaningful interaction with people.
When rescuers arrived, Penelope quietly climbed into the crate as if she knew it was finally her way out.
Understandably, Penelope is very shy with people and carries emotional scars from her past. She will need a patient, gentle foster or adopter who understands that trust and healing take time. With the right support, we know she will continue to blossom.
Penelope does well with other dogs and will need another dog in the home to help her build confidence and adjust to her new life. She looks to canine companions for guidance and comfort as she learns how to be a part of a family. A securely fenced yard is also recommended to give her the space and safety she needs to decompress.
She’s currently in boarding and has had time to settle into a routine—but a foster home is the crucial next step in her journey. While she may be timid at first, Penelope is easy to manage once she learns the routine. With patience and love, we know she’ll come out of her shell.
Penelope is ready for her next chapter. Could you be the one to help her write it?
