About Penelope

Adoption application: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/HOTD/Dog Hello my name is Penelope and I'm an approx 3 year old poodle/maltese/.schnauzer mix who weighs about 13 lbs. I'm adorably cute, have a sweet disposition and have never shown any signs of aggression. I'm mostly dog neutral, don't particularly care for cats and love to chase squirrels in the yard. I'm a great girl who loves her foster mom and does quite well in foster but I do have some special requirements that need to be met in order for me to be comfortable in a potential adopter's home. You see, I've been bounced around a lot in the past, dumped, ended up in a shelter etc etc all things that can make a sensitive gal like me a bit nervous in new environments and need some time to settle in and feel safe. My ideal adopter will have a gentle confident nature, be home a lot and preferably live alone. If there are other people or dogs in the home, please know that I will probably bond to just one person and be aloof or ignore others. Because of this, I'm not a great 'family dog' and will not be the greatest companion for another dog.
