Let’s get right to it: Penelope was adopted as a puppy (fka Paris) and her family needs to find her a new home as she is uncomfortable, and has snapped at the toddler in the home. She needs a very specific home due to her uncomfortability around children, resource guarding, reactivity towards other animals (she is not dog friendly and very leash reactive upon seeing a dog) and the fact that she cannot be startled when sound asleep.
