Penelope is Looking For: Penelope is a super smart cookie and she's seeking humans who appreciate that about her! She's a young girl full of zest for life and wants physical and mental enrichment. Simple walks on leash won't cut it for her - she's up for more. Advanced agility, nose work, fun enrichment - she's by your side for it all!

Most of all - she wants to know who her humans are, where she belongs, and to be under her own roof. In exchange she promises to keep your life awesome - and loyal companionship for all her days!

What My Foster Says About Me:   Penelope loves all people and is such a people pleaser. She is quick to learn, follows commands well, likes to play a lot and be very active, but also knows how to relax and enjoys affectionate cuddles and nap times by your side.

She is a confident girl who likes to be a boss lady in a dog community. She gets along really well with submissive/relaxed dogs who don’t try to dominate her. She likes to play with other dogs at the dog park and is still learning to share balls as she wants to be in charge of them all!  

Penelope does really well in the car and likes to go for car rides. She is doing well on house-training, and she is left at home with other dogs for hours without separation anxiety or other issues; she just sleeps! 

Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken.  All of our dogs are working on their crate training. 

TO ADOPT: The adoption fee for this dog is $460, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations and spay/neuter. If you are interested in adopting, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire online   at   bit.ly/adoptaluckydog  .

 

Lucky Dog Animal Rescue does our best to provide accurate information about the dogs we have for adoption. That said, we cannot make any guarantees about age, breed or temperament.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

The adoption process begins when you submit an adoption application either online or at an adoption event. The individual responsible for the dog you are interested in adopting - a position we call the “adoption coordinator” - will then set up a time to discuss your application over the telephone. The adoption coordinator will check your vet reference to make sure all current and past pets were kept up-to-date with their shots and medical care. The adoption coordinator will also set up a home visit with one of our trained volunteers. That individual will come to your home to ensure that it is a safe environment, to confirm that everyone in the home is on board with adopting a dog, and to discuss any other questions you may have about dog adoption!

Go meet their pets

Our adoption events are held each weekend. A schedule of times and locations can be found at www.luckydoganimalrescue.org.
