Penelope

*Special Needs Penelope is a 17-week-old French Bulldog puppy who is both a lover and a spunky little girl. She is always happy about dinner time and never misses the opportunity for a treat. She is currently being fostered in a home with other dogs, cats and children. She is thriving with all of them. She loves toys, especially ones she can play tug of war with or that make crinkly noise. She's vocal when she's playing or excited to see her people but is otherwise very reserved. Penelope is a special girl, she was born with Spina Bifida, a rare congenital defect in dogs that occurs when the vertebrae of the spine fail to form normally during embryonic development. This is a lifelong condition that may potentially land her in a wheelchair. She was rescued with a set of wheels but does not need them at this time. She is completely urinary and fecal incontinent so she will not be able to be potty trained and will require a strict sanitary schedule. She is happy to wear her diapers but they do need to be changed often. She is a wonderful ball of energy and really the best puppy anyone could ask for.
