Penelope's Story

Do You Believe in Love at First Sight?<br/><br/>My name is Penelope - though for the first few days of my life I went by Eugenie. That name did not stick, but my luck sure did. I was at Chicago Animal Care and Control when a volunteer from C.A.R.E. came to look around. The staff there had my back and gave me a glowing recommendation, and when my C.A.R.E. person laid eyes on me, it was instant. They fell in love, and I became a C.A.R.E. favorite. Now I just need the next chapter - a home of my very own.<br/>Here is something you should know about me right away: I am an absolute dream in the house. I am calm, clean, and completely content to settle in and make myself at home without any fuss. No counter surfing, no chaos, no drama - just a relaxed, well mannered girl who knows how to share a space beautifully. If you are looking for a dog who will slot into your home like she has always been there, that is me.<br/><br/>Fair warning: I am a certified house hippo. I love a good walk, I am always up for a little playtime, but I will never say no to a couch - especially if you are on it. If your idea of a perfect day involves a mix of fresh air and serious lounging, we are going to get along just fine.<br/><br/>I am a people dog through and through. Men, women, kids - it does not matter to me. I might take a moment to warm up when we first meet, but give me that chance and I promise I will come around and make it worth your while.<br/><br/>I have already proven I am worth rooting for. I am house perfect, heart ready, and just waiting for someone willing to share their couch - and their life - with me. Could that be you?<br/><br/> Big tail wags, Penelope
