She would do best with an experienced adopter or foster who understands fearful dogs and can celebrate the small victories that mean so much to her.<br/><br/>Penelope deserves a home where she can continue her journey at her own speed. With time, patience, and unconditional kindness, she has the potential to keep blossoming.<br/><br/>She is up to date on vaccines, spayed and microchipped. <br/><br/>If you are interested in her, please go to our website: terriersrus.org and complete the application.<br/><br/>Find us on instagram @ terriersrus_rescue
