Penelope - Hound Dog for Adoption in Williston, Vermont

Meet Penelope!
2 years old Hound Mix 60 lbs of Love and Adventure

Meet Penelope, a fun-loving hound mix who is discovering just how wonderful life can be! At 2 years old and around 60 pounds, this girl is ready to find a family who will help her continue exploring the world, making happy memories, and learning that love is a beautiful thing.

Penelope is a big fan of car rides, playtime, and being included in the fun! She’s a joyful, confident, playful girl who loves to run hard, play big, and enjoy life to the fullest. She gets along well with other dogs, but she prefers friends with easygoing personalities who won't push her around. A confident, playful canine companion could be a great match, but Penelope could also shine as your one-and-only with doggie friends for playdates.

Penelope may take a little time to warm up to new people. She needs a family willing to be patient, respect her boundaries, and let trust grow at her own pace. But once you’ve earned her heart, you’ll discover a much softer side of this spirited girl. Hugs, belly rubs, and kisses? Yes, please! Her love is worth the wait.

She currently lives successfully with a 412-year-old child and has experience living around cats. Cats can be exciting, especially when they run, so her future family will need to manage introductions and supervise thoughtfully to keep everyone safe.

Penelope is also a pretty good houseguest! She’s quiet in her kennel, although she doesn’t necessarily need one, and she hasn’t been destructive when left alone. She takes tasty treats like cheese and salami with a wonderfully gentle mouth. She does have one little diva rule: when enjoying an extra-special bone, she prefers to have her own space. Once the chewing is over, so is the concern!

Penelope is ready for her next chapter. She’s a big-hearted, exuberant girl who has discovered that the world is full of fun, friendship, and wonderful adventures. Now she just needs someone willing to give her the time she needs to trust, the space to be herself, and the love she deserves.

Could you be the person who helps Penelope keep discovering just how good life can be?
