About Me

penelope-2 penelope-frontpenelope-side

Penelope was adopted February of 2017!

Are you looking for a cuddly, quiet lap dog that loves walks as much as a warm lap? Then look no further. This sweet senior is quiet and shy, but gets along with everyone; including both dogs and cats.

Penelope has been diagnosed with Cushings disease and is doing quite well now that she has been started on medication.  It is a manageable disease, but will require lifelong medication and semi-annual blood monitoring to make sure the medication is at the correct dose.

Penelope warms up to people fast and enjoys time on your lap, but is able to entertain herself if necessary. She just wants a caring patient family who will love her forever. Please consider this sweet soul who will fill your heart with joy.

Check out Penelope’s appearance on The Pet Show with Dr. Katy!
