About Penelope - 6 Week Old Border Collie X (Hold)
Penelope is an adorable 6-week-old puppy who is bursting with love and energy. This little bundle of joy is looking for a forever home where she can grow and thrive.
Penelope loves to cuddle and enjoys being close to her human foster mum. She’s happiest when snuggled up in your lap or climbing over any limb she can reach. Penelope also lives with two foster siblings (10year old Staffies) who she cannot get enough of. Penelope would suit a home with an older dog who she can learn from.
Even at such a young age, Penelope shows signs of high intelligence. She’s curious and eager to explore, making her a quick learner and a joy to train. Penelope is full of puppy energy and loves to play, but is also happy to chill and watch a movie with you. Whether it’s chasing a ball or toy, playing with her sister Skye (also available for adoption), or exploring the yard, she’s always ready for fun.
Penelope is working on her toilet training and will need a family committed to continuing this. Penelope sleeps through the night and will be starting crate training soon.
Penelope needs a loving home that can provide the time, attention, and training a young puppy needs. She would thrive in an environment with plenty of space to play and explore. Families, singles, or couples who are ready for the joys and responsibilities of raising a puppy will find a perfect match in Penelope.
Penelope is excited to find her forever family and start her new life filled with love, fun, and adventure. Penelope will be ready for adoption at 8 weeks old (6th July). A meet and greet can be organised before this date.

Penelope is in foster care in Cameron Park, NSW.
