Here's what the humans have to say about me:
WE CANNOT REPLY TO INQUIRIES SENT DIRECTLY THROUGH ADOPT-A-PET. PLEASE FOLLOW THE EMAIL INSTRUCTIONS BELOW TO APPLY.
MEET PENELOPE the PEKINGESE PUPPY!!!
North New Jersey
Penelope is a 7-MONTH-OLD female 10 lb. cream and white parti Pekingese. This little girl is super sweet and playful and LOVES being with her people and other pups. Penelope did not have much socialization prior to arriving and she was a serious flight risk. She is learning the ropes from the other pups in her foster home and is clearly feeling more secure and learning her manners. This girl has a TON of personality and a TON of energy and loves to run around the yard with the other pups. She spent her entire life with her siblings and feels more secure with other pups her size.
Penelope knows how to use a crate but does not require one. She has also been learning basic commands and etiquette. This should be continued so she can master her manners. She is very smart and learns very fast. Consistency will go a long way with her.
Penelope is UTD, spayed, HW negative, dewormed, chipped, and housebroken and also knows how to use potty pads. She also loves car rides and is very curious in general.
Given her energy level and propensity for “flight” a fenced in yard is a requirement. Her ideal home will be with another similar sized pup(s) with similar energy level so they can play. Breed experience is preferred and will be prioritized.
NOTE, Pekes that are well cared for can easily live for 15-20 years so please consider if a 15+ year commitment is right for you and your lifestyle. Also, 15+ years from now she will have medical needs that are typically very expensive. Her ideal new owner will be able to handle her care, both financially and physically, for her lifetime.
