Patch Pet Of The Week: Penelope
It's easy to fall in love with our new Patch Pet of the Week, Penelope!

Get ready to meet one of the cutest pups around, Penelope!
Penelope, aka Penny, is a 5-year-old longhaired dachshund from Wakefield, Massachusetts. She is spunky and spoiled! She loves hiking and trips to the bakery. When can we hang out with Penny?!
First day home
You would think her first day home might have been scary for her, but Penny felt right at home. She was super playful and fell asleep playing with all of her toys.

Favorite treat
Penny loves her no-hide chicken chews from Polkadog.
Weirdest thing she ever ate
We all know our dogs love to eat food that falls on the floor. Penny isn't picky, apparently, because she once gobbled up a piece of frozen broccoli that fell on the floor.
