Penelope

Penelope is currently around 10-12 weeks old and 6 pounds. We don’t know the breed for sure, but we think Penelope is a Chihuahua-terrier mix. We do know she is, of course, absolutely adorable! Penelope is fostered with other pups and a kitty too. She is a super sweet girl in need of her forever … home now. She isn’t house trained yet and will need an adopter committed to working with her on training. To learn more, please contact us. Penelope is located in northern VA. Before applying for a puppy, please carefully consider the following issues. Will someone be home every 3-4 hours to let the puppy outside? Our general rule of thumb is that if a dog needs to be crated more than 6 hours/day total, then that dog is the wrong one for the person’s lifestyle. Please consider Puppy Kindergarten classes – it is never too early to start training. Puppies (and dogs) are expensive. It can cost over $1,500 a year to care for a dog (vet check-ups, shots, spay/neuter, heartworm/flea tick preventatives, food, and other supplies). We do not adopt puppies more than 1-2 hours outside of the Washington DC area (we will adopt to Richmond and Baltimore).
