My story

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

Pen's bio:

Penelope (Pen)
Breed: Short Coat Chihuahua
Age: 7 years old
Female
Weight: 13 lbs.
Crate trained
Location: Bay Area, CA

Notice this demure little lady, Penelope (Pen for short). Love her and you'll never let this lovable chi go.

Pen, like many of our rescues, needs time to warm up. And when she does, you'll find that Pen has magically stolen your heart. She has a fondness for older hoomans, yummy bites and tends to get bursts of energy when the sun goes down.

A life long learner, Pen is receptive and making strides with her foster family. She's well suited with a seasoned pet parent in a loving home and a fenced yard. Bonus points if there is a resident male fur sibling to help Pen sharpen her training wheels in a new environment.

Pen cannot wait to meet you! Fill out the online application and a volunteer will respond in a few days.
