Meet Penelope – Short Legs, Big Heart, Endless Corgi Charm! Looking for a pint-sized best friend with a whole lot of personality? Meet Penelope, an adorable 3-year-old Corgi who’s ready to waddle right into your heart! This sweet little lady has everything you could want in a companion. She’s friendly, affectionate, and loves being around her people. Penelope gets along great with kids and other dogs, making her an excellent addition to just about any family. Whether she’s supervising the household with those adorable Corgi ears, exploring the backyard, or snuggling up after a day of adventures, Penelope is happiest when she’s part of the action. Like many dogs, Penelope prefers not to share her meals. She does have food aggression toward other dogs, so she’ll need to be fed separately to ensure everyone stays happy and safe. The good news? She’s perfectly comfortable with people around her food, this behavior is only directed toward other dogs and is easily managed with separate feeding. Penelope is current on all of her vaccinations and is scheduled to be spayed on July 13th. Once she’s had time to recover, she’ll be packed up and ready to head off to the forever home she’s been dreaming about! If you’ve been searching for a loyal companion with a goofy grin, little legs, and enough Corgi charisma to brighten every day, Penelope is your girl. Just be warned—once you meet her, you’ll fall head over heels! Don’t let this little loaf get away—apply to adopt Penelope today! Local adoption fee is $400 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $750 (includes transport to your area)

She is very friendly and affectionate. She gets along well with children, other dogs, and cats, too. She is energetic and loves to play, which makes her a great family dog.

Story

She was adopted. She was 1 year old. My wife wanted to have a couple of dogs to keep her company. My wife passed away last year 2025 in April. I have tried to love and take care of them, but I lost my full time position due to government budget cuts. I am looking to move somewhere else and I simply cannot take care of her. Bella is not fixed. She is loving, loves attention, she warns when others are coming to the door. She is friendly and loves to cuddle. She is good with my cat and has been good with my grandchildren. She used to sleep on my wife for hours and snuggle. Lots of love in this one. I am desperate to find her a loving home.
