A5103596 Penelope | Chihuahua/Dachshund Puppy

A5103596 Penelope is a sweet 1-year-old black-and-caramel female Chihuahua and Dachshund mix (Chiweenie) puppy who came to the Baldwin Park Animal Care Center as a stray from Baldwin Park on August 22nd. Weighing 9 lbs, this little darling is understandably frightened in the noisy, unfamiliar shelter environment, so she was too timid to walk on leash for her handler, preferring to be carried instead. However, Penelope did not take long to warm up to a friendly human, giving gentle kisses and content to sit on her lap. Penelope gets along with her kennel mates, and we think she will make a great indoor pet and companion for any individual or family (whose kids, if any, know to be respectful of her small size).

Our Mission:

United Hope for Animals is dedicated to reducing homelessness among companion animals through spay/neuter, shelter support, photography, video and networking of shelter animals in Southern California. It is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization working to end homelessness among companion animals by supporting shelter adoptions and spay/neuter programs. Through our Shelter Support Program, our volunteers photograph and video shelter pets to increase their chances of adoption significantly. Our volunteer Adoption Coordinators help facilitate adoptions of shelter pets. United Hope for Animals supports rescue, spay/neuter and networking of shelter pets to increase their chances of adoption. UHA is not a shelter, but supports shelters to help increase visibility of animals who might not otherwise be seen.
