My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Penelope 😇 Our beautiful girl is looking for a FOSTER or FOREVER home since her current foster is heading out of town for a pre-planned trip! Who wants to welcome this perfect girl into their home?

This angel girl is one of the sweetest dogs we’ve ever met and we are so excited to find her a forever home. After enduring some sort of trauma in the beginning of her life, Penelope found her way to the shelter where she was placed on the euth list for space. Luckily, we got her out of there and started her rode to recovery.

Our initial assessment of this girl revealed a heartbreaking discovery: She was missing her tongue. We will never know what she went through, but it’s been our mission to get her back to a healthy state where she can thrive with a forever family. After months in foster care, she is ready for her forever family!

Despite her past, Penelope LOVES people. She wants to spend all of her time cuddling with her people. When she’s not snuggling with you, she will wander away to sunbathe in the backyard and then take a nap in her crate.

Penelope absolutely loves spending time with other dogs. She has been thriving in her foster home with both a small and big dog. One of her favorite activities is welcoming all the pups over for a play date… she immediately wants to play with her friends! While it’s easier for her to play with other large breed dogs, she is great with smaller breeds too. While she’s a big fan of other dogs, no kitties for Miss P, please.

You’re probably wondering what medical she might have with the missing tongue. Don’t worry, it’s not too much extra work! She gets “mini meatballs” 2x daily. In the time she’s been in our care, she has already shown significant progress going from emaciated and underweight to healthy and beautiful! We are so proud of our girl!

Penelope is crate trained and leash trained.
