About Penelope

URGENT: Penelope, Sweet 25-lb Girl Who Needs Someone Patient Sit on the floor, wait quietly, and Penelope will come to you, then melt into your lap. Once this 3-year-old feels safe, she’s sweet, playful, and endlessly affectionate. She wants to be the center of her person’s world. About 3 years old, 25 lbs, spayed female Reliably uses pee pads Quiet and non-destructive when left alone Good on leash Spayed, Vaccinated, heartworm negative Watch Video >>> Penelope's True Personality Watch Video >>> Penelope's Love for Apples & Bananas Watch Video >>> Penelope on a Car Ride What she needs: Penelope is an anxious girl, and she takes daily anxiety medication. If someone approaches or tries to catch her too quickly, she may bark or nip out of fear. Let her come to you, and she will. She does not do well crated (she’ll cry for hours) but doesn’t need to be. She does best with someone home much of the day who can give her plenty of attention. Other pets: She’s best as the only dog, or with a carefully matched, easygoing companion. She does well with confident cats but may chase a fearful one. Best fit: a patient adult or retiree, a calm and consistent home, older respectful kids at most. Penelope has been through several homes, and her current foster isn’t a long-term option. She needs her forever person soon. Questions: [email protected] Apply: https://doggieharmony.org/forms Doggie Harmony is a pet placement and matchmaking service that works with community members who are already housing a pet. Interested adopters are asked to apply at https://doggieharmony.org/forms and allow a home visit, so we can make sure each pet is a great match. Please ask the pet’s current caretaker directly about their return process, and request an adoption contract. While we can’t offer immediate intake for dogs that need to be returned, we’re always happy to help a family rehome a pet while they continue to care for it. Every match keeps a pet out of Georgia’s overcrowded shelters, where more than 30,000 dogs and cats are euthanized each year. Last Updated: 11/3/26
