Meet Penelope

Penelope has made a pitstop at Sutherland until she gets adopted. Penelope (Penny) was not coping in the Pound environment so was offered to DCH Animal Adoptions where she is now thriving. Current weight is 4.6kg but that will certainly change the longer she is in care. Penny was initially scared of everything and everyone but is thriving in a quiet household with 4 other canines. Penny is very sweet and affectionate waits her turn for affection, eats well and is submissive. Penny will be available mid to late July.

Any interested parties are asked to contact her foster carer by email.

Penelope was adopted on 09 August 2026 after 1 month in foster care
