My name is
Penelope!

Penelope is an 8 week old adorable little pup weighing about 5lbs.  We are guessing she will be about 20-30lbs when full grown.  Penelope's mom was surrendered to a shelter in Kansas.  The shelter is an overcrowded shelter that gets almost no foot traffic so they asked up to take Rosie (Penelope's mom) and find her a good forever home here in CO so she didn't end up spending months in the shelter, or worse, being euthanized.  To our absolute surprise, Rosie ended up going into the labor just hours after getting to CO.  She gave birth to two beautiful puppies, but unfortunately only one survived, little Penelope.  While Momma is about 8lbs, Penelope was growing super quick.  We don't know what the dad was, but we were told there was a larger Shih Tzu/Poodle in the home Rosie was in and he could be the dad, so thats the information we have to go off of.  

Penelope is now 8 weeks old and ready to find her forever family.  She is a wonderful little pup.  She gets along great with all other dogs (big and small), cats and all people.  She has been well socialized and her fosters have been doing a great job with raising her to be a wonderful little dog.  Penelope would do great with a family with another dog, or an active family who can truly get a young pup the mental and physical stimulation they need daily.  While Penelope will be on the smaller side, all dogs still love to be active and have their worlds expanded.  Penelope is very affectionate and would love a human to snuggle with and spend each and every day with.  While being active is important for all dogs, Penelope would be happy with some netflix and snuggle days too.  She is just a perfect little girl.
