We will only adopt this girl out to local SF Bay area residents. Thank you<br/><br/>Adoption application: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/HOTD/Dog<br/><br/>Hello my name is Penelope and I'm an approx 3 year old poodle/maltese/.schnauzer mix who weighs about 13 lbs. <br/><br/>I'm adorably cute, have a sweet disposition and have never shown any signs of aggression. I'm mostly dog neutral, don't particularly care for cats and love to chase squirrels in the yard.<br/><br/>I'm a great girl who loves her foster mom and does quite well in foster but I do have some special requirements that need to be met in order for me to be comfortable in a potential adopter's home. You see, I've been bounced around a lot in the past, dumped, ended up in a shelter etc etc all things that can make a sensitive gal like me a bit nervous in new environments and need some time to settle in and feel safe. I need to be allowed to settle in on my own terms and on my own time. If I'm "pressured" to do things I don't want to do too soon, my typical response is to withdraw or retreat.<br/><br/>My ideal adopter will have a gentle confident nature, be home a lot and preferably live alone. If there are other people or dogs in the home, please know that I will probably bond to just one person and be aloof or ignore others. Because of this, I'm not a great "family dog" and will not be the greatest companion for another dog. I can however be a great companion for a solo individual ...especially one who wants to spend time with me and is looking for a walking buddy. I LOVE my walks! Ideally I would also need a securely fenced yard or outside area as I do enjoy my outside time but if I get regular walks that should suffice as well. <br/><br/>So what do you say? Do you think you could be my forever person? If so, please fill out an application and a volunteer will reach out to you soon
