Everyone meet Penelope. This girl deserves a family of her own and a soft spot to land. She is approximately 2 years old. What a story she has. 

Penelope was found as a pregnant stray in Georgia. Before we could get her into the rescue she disappeared and we all feared and braced for the worst. Until one day she reappeared no longer pregnant. She was able to lead her rescuers back to the crawl space of a abandoned house where she had tucked her four babies in the furthest corner. 

Penelope's puppies are now all weaned and she is looking for a family of her own. Penelope has not had the easiest of lives. At some point she was abused as evidence to how she flinches if you move your hands fast around her face. She also has an old cataract that causes her no pain, she is not fully visual in the eye but she compensates well. Penelope is a sweet girl who is fantastic with kids, she is a velcro dog who is looking for her best friend. She is pretty low energy and would love e someone to curl up on a couch with. She is house trained and UTD on shots, and will be spayed before going to her new home.

The Australian Cattle Dog, also known as the Blue Heeler, is a hardworking and intelligent breed originally developed in Australia for herding cattle. Renowned for their endurance and agility, these medium sized dogs have a striking blue or red speckled coat and alert, curious expression. With a strong herding instinct and boundless energy, they require mental stimulation and physical activity to thrive. Blue Heelers are loyal, protective, and make excellent companions for active individuals or families willing to provide the engagement and exercise they need.
