For Adopt a Pet and the PEDIGREE® brand, October is all about finding homes for dogs in shelters. Adopt this month for a PEDIGREE® Wet Food Pouch and a chance to win a Homecoming-style photo shoot and shelter donation.
Meet Penelope, the gray beauty with a heart as big as her personality! This sweet girl loves everyone she meets and is especially excited to make new dog friends.
Penelope came into someone’s backyard with a skin infection, swollen paws, and signs of having been a mom to multiple litters. But now, her skin is healing, her paws are better, and she’s blossomed into the happiest girl.
Penelope is great in her crate and hasn’t had any accidents, plus she loves car rides and sits like a good girl, always ready for the next adventure.
Her favorite activities include being outside, exploring on walks, and just soaking up the world around her. With a medium energy level, she can easily adjust to your lifestyle, though she's not a couch potato.
And let’s not forget her adorable blocky head with that one quirky ear that does its own thing—she’s pure charm!
If you're looking for a sweet, loving companion who’s up for adventures and snuggles, Penelope might just be the perfect match.

More about this rescue
PAWS is comprised of a small group of volunteers from New England and Tennessee trying to reduce the euthanization rate (previously 90%) at the Tipton County Animal Control shelter in Brighton, Tennessee. This shelter is forced to euthanize thousands of animals each year due to irresponsible pet owners that do not spay/ neuter their dogs in the area. Millions of dogs in America are euthanized each year due to lack of space and lack of funding to try and find them better homes.
Our mission is to save as many animals as possible, removing them from the shelter, having their veterinary needs met prior to traveling and then finding them loving homes throughout New England. We do this only with the assistance of many people volunteering their time by going to the shelter, transporting the dogs to the vet, fostering dogs who need special care, and arranging for their new and happy homes in this area. Most importantly, we cannot do any of this without those people willing to open their homes and hearts to these lovely creatures.
