Once she trusts you, she's the definition of a Velcro dog. If she had her way, she'd spend every moment curled up beside you (or on your lap!), burrowed under a cozy blanket, soaking up all the love she missed out on.<br/> Once she knows she's safe, she walks beautifully on a leash and is happiest simply being with her person.<br/> She is sweet and gentle, and every new experience she conquers is another reminder of just how far she's come.<br/><br/><br/>She gets along well with other dogs, though she's a little possessive of her favorite spot: your lap! She'd much rather be the one soaking up your cuddles. She is nervous but polite with cats. Penelope currently lives with children and does well but older kids would be best in a new environment. Toddlers can be a bit scary and unpredictable to her. <br/><br/>Penelope isn't looking for perfection—she's looking for someone willing to see the beautiful dog she's become and continue helping her bloom. The patience you invest in her will be repaid with unwavering devotion and endless snuggles.<br/><br/>Could you be the person to show Penelope that she's finally home?<br/><br/>If you'd like to open your heart to this sweet girl, we'd love to hear from you.
