How do I adopt Penelope...?
If you think Penelope might be a good match for you, don't hesitate to fill out our Online Adoption Application! It is in no way binding, but will show that you are interested and we can figure out is she is a good match for you.
If you are really serious, I highly recommend putting down a deposit on her, which is usually half of her adoption fee, via Pay Pal. That way she will be put on hold and we know that you are committed! If the adoption doesn't go through your deposit will be refunded.
Friends Of Homeless Animals, Inc. is an approved tax-exempt 501 (c)(3) non-profit, so your adoption fee/donation is tax deductible.
You can visit Penelope on Petfinder.com
or on Dogster.com!

Penelope's here!
Little Penelope, or Penny as we call her, got here on saturday and has settled in wonderfully! She is such a sweet, outgoing little girl and she is so happy to be in a home! This is really what foster care is al about...She has been getting along great with the other dogs, even instigating play and trying to roughhouse by following the sound of them playing!
She only has one eye as one had to be removed, it was badly uncerated and was hurting her. She seems to be completely blind in the other eye, but doesn't let it slow her down! She took a few days to find her way around the house by bumping into walls and doorways, and now she gets around great! It's fascinating to watch...
She had a few accidents when she first arerived, but has been doing so much better! I have to carry her outside and she'll do her business right away! As long as she's opn a regular schedule and is supervised she does great...
I've been crating her during the day, mainly for housebreaking purposes and she stayis in her crate without a peep! And same thing at night, no fussing at all! She is very attentive and follows you around. She knows her name and gets so excited wehen you call her in a sing-song voice and she'll scrable to get to you!
She is very smart and learns fast. She responds well to corrections and knows No. She will also go for walks, she is so curious and loves exploring. We've been keeping the walks short and sweet for now, it's a big world for a small, blind dog...
Poor girl has been bred ALOT! She was estimated at 5-8 years old, but I think she is definately closer to 5, she is just so full of energy. Her poor care is decieving and makes her look older than she is. She has a sleek little body, beautiful markings, a shiny coat and the cutest face in the wold!
Penny is a real little clown and you just cant keep from smiling when you're around her! She is just so happy and full of life and her little face is just the cutest thing! She has so much love to give and just deserves a forever home...

Little blind Penelope is our next foster dog. She will be arriving on January 9 2010.
This is what her current rescue have to say about her:

Breeder surrender to Paris TX shelter
Good Markings
Up to date on Bordatella, Rabies,and 7 in 1 shots.
Heartworm/Lyme/Erlichia: Positive - Begins treatment 10/26 -Available 11/26
Spayed
Good with cats: OK and shows no interest in the cats
Good with children: Not Tested
Good with other dogs: Good with all dogs met so far
Housetraining: Needs work
Cratetrained: Yes
Special needs: Vision impaired/1 eye
More information:
I got a call from Wendy the ACO in Paris about a little girl with cataracts is what she said. She was owner surrendered (dumped) by her breeder in the Paris shelter. This little girl has been bred a lot. She has an ulcer in one eye & the other eye was injured and was swollen. We removed the eye that was causing her pain. She doesn't see very well, but I think she can see light and dark. She mainly navigates by your voice.
She seems so sweet and quiet. She will let you pick her up and easily put drops in her eye. But she does crouch a lot when she thinks that you are going to get after her or pick her up. I have been working with her on that. She is better now than she was, but does need more confidence building. This is not a dog you are gonna take to obedience school and her shine immediately. This one needs TLC, understanding and time. She is very sweet and knows her name is Penelope. She will come to you when you singsong her name Penelope. She does crouch when she gets close. She is a sweet girl who just needs someone to love her and work with her.
