Meet Penelope

Penelope is scheduled for her spay on March 11 and will not be available for adoption outside of a 30-minute radius of Des Moines until after her spay. Penelope came to Iowa from an Oklahoma shelter with her momma Zarah and 8 siblings when she was approximately 5 weeks old. She was assigned a birthdate of 11/23/24 since we don't have an exact date of birth. Penelope is a possible Border Collie/Husky mix and weighs just under 10 lbs. at 10 weeks old. Penelope is sweet and gentle, and loves belly rubs and snuggling. Her favorite toys are balls and squeaky toys. She loves being outside and enjoys bucking like a bronco when she's excited and chasing leaves. She is unique from all of her siblings in that she has back dew claws. These should not be problematic but will require routine nail trims. She will likely do well with cats and kids with proper, slow introductions. Penelope needs an active family that can provide lots of play time and activities that stimulate her mentally. He will not be adopted to a family living in an apartment, condo, or townhouse due to her being vocal at times and needing a yard to play in. We are looking for a family that has experience owning active, vocal dogs and one that can keep up with a very active dog. Another active, social dog living in the home is also a plus. Siblings:  Pepe Le Pew (M)  Penelope (F)  Flower (F)  Honey Badger (F)  David Bowie (M)  Akela (M)  Mochi (F)  Kallik (F)  Yeti (M) If you are interested in meeting Penelope, please complete an online application at  https://hopeanimalrescueofiowa.duplie.com/forms/196/dog-application Adoption fee is $300 which includes spay/neuter, microchip, and age appropriate vaccines.

Adoption Process
We require an application be completed, do home visits and check references. Have meet and greets with children and other pets. We require animals be returned to us if circumstances change. We require a signed adoption contract. We do not allow our animals to be kept outdoors. $100 Senior Dog (9+ years old) $200 Adult Dog $225 Puppy $30 Senior Cat (10+ years old) $60 Adult Cat $100 Kitten (or 2 for $150) Purebred/Designer dog adoption fees will be determined on case by case basis dependent on finders fees, vetting costs and transporting fees. Each purebreds breed will determine baseline fee.
