Penelope is a playful 20 week old puppy as of 12/8/2025. She only weighs 7 pounds. Penelope is also chagas negative. Like all pups her age, she’s curious, friendly, and full of joy! She was rescued with her sister from the Plugerville, TX shelter. She is now safe and ready for a forever home.
Penelope loves to explore, play with toys, and snuggle in your arms. In true Chihuahua fashion, she’s clever and eager to learn. She will thrive in a home where she gets plenty of playtime, attention, and love.
If you’d like to make this sweet dog part of your family, please review our adoption process and complete an application here:
Every dog adopted through Tracy’s Paws receives:
• Chagas, heartworm, and tick testing (when age-appropriate)
• All core vaccines (age-appropriate)
• Heartworm and flea/tick preventatives
• Regular Deworming
• Spay/neuter surgery
• Microchip
Breed and age listings are our best guess, based on appearance.
Because we live in TX, please familiarize yourself with Chagas. It’s more prevalent than HW disease.
