Penelope is a therapy canine. She is still a puppy and learning her skillset, which includes sitting with clients during difficult sessions and providing occasional comic relief. She is currently in training to learn other helpful skills such as applying pressure for patients experiencing anxiety.
Penelope is hypoallergenic and non-shedding, but if clients do not want to interact with her in session for any reason, she is happy to sleep in her crate and will not disrupt the session.
If you do not wish for Penelope to be a part of your session, let Dr. Borlenghi know and Penelope will be crated.
Penelope is a rescue dog weighing 11 pounds. She is a hypoallergenic mix of numerous breeds including Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Shih Tzu, Poodle, and Chihuahua.
