Penelope - Puppy - Coming Mid-January

This dog is being fostered in Dallas TX and must be adopted within the Dallas or North Central Texas area.<br/><br/>NAME: Penelope<br/>GENDER: Female (Will be Spayed)<br/>AGE: About 16 Weeks (as of Early December)<br/>WEIGHT: About 5.5 Pounds (Still Growing)<br/>DOGS/CATS: Gets along with other small and medium dogs, Unknown with cats<br/>CHILDREN: Loves Everyone, Is Great with Children<br/>AVAILABILITY: Mid-January<br/><br/>Meet Penelope, a fun loving puppy! She has an outgoing personality that fits in with everyone. She is looking for an active, forever home to grow up in.<br/><br/>In Mid-November, we received a plea for help. There were 5 Chihuahua puppies who were dumped in a Dallas neighborhood. No Mom was with them. The Good Samaritans who found them kept them safe while they looked for owners. When no owners stepped forward, we agreed to bring them into our CRT foster program. Thank you to our sweet fosters who agreed to help foster puppies with the holidays coming! You have saved their lives. Penelope is one of these 5 puppies who was saved this day.<br/><br/>Penelope gets along with the other small and medium sized dogs in her foster home. Penelope enjoys playing with her foster siblings and will initiate play. She loves to do zoomies. Penelope loves going outside to play and explore. Her foster family has a large fenced in yard and she bolts around the yard with pure joy. You cannot help but smile when you see how much she loves to have fun. Penelope also loves toys. Her favorites are the small plush squeaky toys.<br/><br/>Penelope has a great personality. She is a little more laid back, but still has the puppy energy and love. She enjoys meeting new people and wants to get love and attention. When she meets new people or new dogs, she will bark for a minute as if to warn you that there are new people around. But she settles down pretty quickly once she knows she is safe. And then she becomes your best friend! She is a huge cuddler so if you love snuggling, she wants to volunteer for the job. Penelope adores her family and we think you will adore her!<br/><br/>Penelope is super smart, is adventurous, has no fear and is very confident. She also has great manners. Penelope is a puppy and learning every day. She has learned the doggy door (under supervision) and will go outside to potty. She also uses potty pads as a backup. At night she sleeps in a dog bed inside an playpen with her sister Ginger. Her foster family keeps the playpen in their bedroom so the puppies know they are there. Due to her vaccination status, we have not begun to leash train her. Once we complete her vaccinations, we will put a harness on her and begin to teach her how to walk on a leash.<br/><br/>Our vet believes that Penelope is about 16 weeks old (as of early December). She weighs about 5.5 pounds (she will grow another few pounds). Penelope has a pretty reddish tan coat. We love her ears. We have done a DNA test on her (thanks to a generous supporter who donated a DNA test). The DNA results are back and are as follows: 69% Chihuahua, 7% Yorkshire Terrier, 6% Shih Tzu, 4% Pomeranian, 4% Pekingese, 3% Poodle (Toy and Miniature), 2% Dachshund, 2% Papillon and 1% Bichon Frise! And we will add that she is 100% adorable!<br/><br/>The perfect home for Penelope would be one with high energy and a fun environment. Being a puppy, we are sure Penelope would enjoy another small young dog to grow up with. If you do not have another dog, please consider Ginger (her sibling that she is growing up with). Penelope needs a family who can check on her every 4-6 hours (would not be a good fit for a family that works 10-12 hour days). Note that Penelope does react (bark) to noises, so we are not sure she would do well in an apartment. Penelope is growing up with a human sister that is 11 years old and adores her. So we know she does well with older, mature children (8 and older). Penelope would be a great family dog.<br/><br/>This puppy is loving and adorable. Some family is going to hit the jackpot with her.<br/><br/>Penelope is being fostered in the Dallas-Fort Worth (Texas) area.
