Penelope - Pekingese Dog for Adoption in Homer Glen, Illinois

**WE DO NOT RESPOND TO APPLICATIONS MADE ON PETFINDER. YOU MUST APPLY ON OUR LINK WHICH IS BELOW**

Meet Penelope — a sweet girl ready for a fresh start!

Penelope was born 11/21/2018 and is a beautiful 12-pound Pekingese. She and her son, Roman, were surrendered to a shelter because their owner became too ill to continue taking care of them. Penelope is a very sweet and affectionate girl who loves attention and being with her people.

When Penelope was being prepared for her spay, the veterinarians discovered bladder stones. She underwent surgery to have them removed and is recovering well. We are currently waiting for the stone analysis, but it's likely Penelope will need to eat a prescription diet for the rest of her life to help prevent future bladder stones.

Like many Pekingese, Penelope has prominent eyes, so her forever family will need to take some extra precautions to protect them. Her home should be mindful that another dog doesn't accidentally scratch her eye and that she is protected from situations where she could bump into things.

Although Penelope came into rescue with her son, Roman, they are not bonded and Penelope can be adopted on her own.

Penelope is currently being temporarily fostered in Las Vegas, but she can come to the Chicago area for the right home. She is spayed, microchipped and up to date on vaccines.
