Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie, Chinese Crested Dog [Mix]

Penelope was adopted on June 6, 2009 from the Hollywood Feed Union Avenue adoption event.
We believe Penelope is a yorkie/Chinese crested mix. She weighs about 7 lbs and is possibly one year old. Penelope was held as a stray dog for her required period before a kind employee offered to take Penelope home and find a place for her. Penelope is a wonderful, affectionate, loving young girl who bonds very quickly with a woman. She may be more skittish of men. She is needy and vocal if she can’t be where you are, she wants to be a constant companion, but she is easy to cater to! Penelope is now spayed and is heartworm negative. Her adoption fee is $200.

We adopt dogs from Memphis Animal Shelter when we can. The shelter has an 83% euthanasia rate, one of the highest in the country. Unfortunately, any dog coming from Memphis Animal Shelter, and most other shelters for that matter, will have been in contact with contagious illness. Even though the dogs have been in foster care and appear to be in good health, they may become stressed when changing environments and exhibit signs and symptoms of illness. If you have other pets, they need to be up to date on vaccines before bringing a shelter dog into your home. We will take the adopted animal back, but we are not responsible for your other animal's vet care. We always disclose where the dogs have come from. Please ask for any information about the dogs and exercise due caution if you have immunocompromised animals.
