Penelope transformed from sickly shelter dog to thriving pet

A dog named Penelope, an American bully mix, was rescued from a Maryland shelter in October 2023. She was severely sick and underweight, weighing only 29 pounds. Foster mom Brittany DeVan took her in, despite concerns about her health. After receiving medical treatment and surgeries, Penelope began to recover. DeVan shared her transformation on TikTok, showing how Penelope became unrecognizable in five months. She is now happy and thriving in her forever home, officially adopted in December. Viewers on TikTok reacted positively to Penelope's story, with many expressing joy at her recovery. DeVan noted that while Penelope is still nervous around strangers, she is improving and enjoys playing and going for walks.
