Behavior notes:
12/15/24 volunteer notes: Penelope and Pupperoo meet today! They did a great job reading behaviors and enjoyed their time together! This was a positive experience!!
12/15/24 short term foster noted: Penelope is 31 lbs of pure sweetness. She is very loving and has eyes you just can’t say no to. She has lots of energy, loves going for long walks, and playing tug of war with toys. She loves pets, snuggling, and face to face attention. That is her #1 MO: pets and cuddles. Penelope is (mostly) house trained, knows how to sit, and is crate trained. She could use some leash training as she pulls but is not hard to walk. She is very friendly with other people and wants to greet other dogs with a wagging tail. We even gave her a bath and she was very patient and quiet. She is a bit jumpy and has some separation anxiety. We had a lot of fun taking care of this little girl for a week and definitely would have had her for longer if we could have. Whoever adopts her is very lucky! She is a wonderful companion.
12/8/24 volunteer notes: Penelope is a love bug! It was noted that when she first came in, she was very timid- but it seems she is opening up. Penelope loved to run around in the yard, and check in for cuddles.
