Penelope is a darling little Aussie who made her way to SFCR after being released from a commercial breeding facility. She was very shut down and terrified when she first arrived to foster care and requires a very calm, special touch. Penelope is a very sweet dog, she just needs a little extra time and patience when warming up to new people and environments.

Penelope is crate trained and finds great comfort in having a crate available to her. She has not had a single accident and seems to have the housetraining very well mastered. 

 

ADOPTION REQUIREMENTS:

  • Physically fenced in yard - Penelope is a breeder release dog and no familiar or comfortable walking on a harness/leash. She is also a flight risk and a fenced yard is required for her safety.
  • Confident resident dog preferred.
  • Quieter home with dog savvy kids (ages 12 and up)
  • Patient family willing to give Penelope adequate time to adjust, settle in, and bond.

Penelope has been spayed and received a dental cleaning. She is current on vaccinations, monthly preventatives, and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $450 plus tax.

*All SFCR dogs are current on age-appropriate vaccinations (rabies, distemper, bordetella, and lepto), spayed/neutered (if at least 6 months of age), tested for heartworm & tick-borne disease, receive dentals if needed, are started on preventatives for heartworm and fleas/ticks, and microchipped.

Prior to being rescued, many of our dogs have received limited socialization, so they may need extra time to adjust and settle in. Older children are often a great fit for our dogs, and family's with younger children will be considered based on each dog's individual needs. Skills like house training and leash walking may require a little extra patience and practice. However, with understanding and a gentle hand, most of our dogs adapt quite quickly.
