Penelope - Dachshund Dog for Adoption in Wichita, Kansas

Hi! My name is Penelope, but my foster family has given me a very important royal title: Princess Penelope Wiggle Bottoms! Why? Because I’m one very happy girl, and my whole body wiggles when I’m excited! I absolutely LOVE playing with my humans, but I’m also perfectly happy entertaining myself with my favorite stuffies. When the day winds down, though, my favorite place is right next to my people, getting all the snuggles I can at bedtime. I’m a good girl when it comes to potty training, especially when my humans keep me on a consistent routine. I’m still working on my crate skills, and sometimes I cry when I’m in there. I’m trying my best to learn that my crate is a safe place, and I just need a little patience and encouragement while I figure it out. I’m looking for a forever family who will love my happy wiggles, play with me, snuggle me, and help me keep learning as I grow. Could you be the forever home this little princess has been waiting for? To meet me, fill out an application at waalrescue.org/adopt. ...
