Penelope

My story

In Oswego: PLEASE meet Penelope a 2-3 year old Aussie or Aussie cross - we’re not sure. We ARE sure, though, that she is gorgeous! One brown and one blue eye, and just look at that coat! Penelope was rescued from an abusive/neglect situation. As a result, she is timid and lacks confidence. Even so, she loves walks and does well on the leash with no pulling. She sits to be leashed up. She’s met her Foster’s neighbors, including one adult and two elementary school-aged kids. Penelope independently stretched out to sniff their hands and allowed the child to pet her on the chest. We feel she would be ok with calm, dog-savvy children that age and up, but is probably ideally suited to older children and adults. She has made small trusting gains. Penelope LOVES chasing and playing with dogs, always initiating play time. She is brave with other dogs, rough-housing even with dogs much bigger than she is. She would love to have a doggy sibling to play with her and help build her confidence. She loves to bask in the sun in her Foster’s fence yard. Penelope needs a patient family who will help her build her trust and confidence. She is a sweet and loving girl who will continue to blossom into great companion with guidance and a loving home.
