Penelope's Story

Meet Penelope! Penelope is a 5–6 month old Pug/Yorkie mix with a gorgeous black and brindle coat and a heart that’s learning just how safe and loved it can be. Currently weighing about 13 pounds, this sweet girl is still growing—both in size and confidence! Penelope came to Dogworks after being surrendered when another dog in her home attacked her. When she first arrived in foster care, she was understandably scared and unsure of the world around her. Thanks to patience, love, and consistency, she has already made incredible progress—and she continues to blossom more every day. This affectionate little lady thrives when she’s close to her people. She would do best in a home where someone is around more often than not and is willing to continue helping her build confidence through gentle guidance and positive socialization. Penelope is playful and active, but she’s equally happy curling up beside you for snuggles. One of her most endearing traits? Every time her people come back inside from outdoors, Penelope greets them with enthusiastic kisses and a wagging tail—like she hasn’t seen them in years. It’s impossible not to smile! Penelope enjoys playing chase and “kicking” around her tennis balls, and she’s most active later in the day. She walks well on a leash, knows how to sit, is crate trained, and is currently working on perfecting her potty training. She responds well to verbal correction and genuinely wants to please. She does well with other dogs and cats and has been great with children ages 9 and up. While a fenced yard is preferred, it’s not required. Penelope can be a bit vocal when startled by things like the broom or vacuum, but she quickly settles once she realizes there’s nothing to fear. Overall, Penelope is a friendly, affectionate, playful girl who loves kisses and wants nothing more than to be near her people. With continued love and reassurance, she will make an incredibly loyal and loving companion. If you’re looking for a sweet soul to grow alongside your family, Penelope just might be your perfect match. She will be spayed on January 26, 2026. She is up-to-date on her vaccinations, microchipped and is on monthly flea/tick and heartworm prevention. Her adoption fee is $400. Please follow the link below for her adoption application. Note: applicants must live within one hour of Toledo Ohio. http://www.dogworksohio.com/adoption-application.html

DogWorks Inc. Canine Rescue and Placement's Adoption Policy

Dogworks strives to place dogs into permanent homes based on the dogs' personalities and yours. To adopt a dog, we require a completed application, signed adoption contract, and home visit. Applications can be submitted online, by mail, or in person at adoption events. Once your application has been submitted, we will contact your references and consider suitability. You will be contacted by phone or email, typically within 4 business days, to make arrangements for adoption. If a particular dog is not placed with you, it does not mean that your application has been rejected. Dogworks receives multiple applications for some dogs. Foster families always have the first option to adopt. We do not approve applications on a first come basis as we strive for placement that is best for the dog and adoptive family. The home environment, family composition and yard are very important considerations in our decision to place a dog in a home. Some dogs do not do well with young children or cats, and our hounds require a fenced yard as examples of our decision process. Adoption fees are variable (typically $125-$500.00) and are listed with the description of each dog. All fees collected are used to cover rescue expenses, including foster care and veterinary expenses. Adoption fee will be refunded if you decide that the dog is not compatible with your family within 2 weeks. All dogs have received age appropriate vaccinations, GI dewormer, and heartworm test prior to adoption if they are old enough. Adult dogs and puppies older than 12 weeks are spayed/neutered. Adopters of younger puppies may be required to sign an agreement to complete spay/neuter by 5 months of age. We will assist with spay/neuter costs. All of our dogs and puppies will be microchipped prior to adoption. Adopters will receive a copy of medical records when adoption contract has been signed and adoption fees have been paid in full. Requirements for adoption: Please be aware that your adoption application WILL NOT be approved by Dogworks unless ALL of these criteria are met: >Adopters must be within a one hour radius of Toledo. >Adopters must be at least 21 years of age. >Veterinary reference must be positive. >All dogs in the home must be spayed/neutered. >All members of the household must be in agreement to adopt. >Individual needs of the dog must be met in prospective home (e.g., fully fenced yard for all hounds).
