Penelope - Pointer and Spaniel Dog for Adoption in Clayton, New Jersey

Meet Penelope!

Penelope is a sweet 3-year-old Pointer/Spaniel mix weighing about 27 pounds, and she’s more than ready to leave shelter life behind for good.

Found as a stray, Penelope has shown us what a loving and special girl she truly is. She walks nicely on leash with just a little pulling and is non-reactive. She has also tested well with both dogs and cats!

Because Penelope does have some food-guarding behavior, we’re recommending a home where she can be the only pet and without small children. She’d still love to meet and play with other dogs outside the home, where food isn’t involved.

This sweet girl has so much love to give and is patiently waiting for the family who will give her the safe, happy life she deserves.

Could you be Penelope’s forever family? Come meet this beautiful girl today!
