Here's what the humans have to say about me:
IN SEARCH OF EXPERIENCED FOSTER: This sweet 40 pound pup brings a unique set of preferences and quirks, with a heart full of love waiting to be shared. She’s a year and a half old, healthy, up to date on medical care. Her need is someone who has a quiet, adult only household. She needs an experienced person that is excited to work with a trainer to broaden Petunia’s comfort level with unfamiliar things. Petunia is super lovable, but fearful. She aims to please and responds well to her human’s cues and needs practice with this. Training Triumphs so far: *Petunia is a clever girl who knows an impressive array of commands: Sit, Stay, Wait, Let's go (leash command), Come, Crate, Paw, Find it, Drop Work in Progress: Heel *She responds well to a pursed lips call or a quick whistle for recall. Personality/ Favorites: *Super snuggly, and loves to cuddle even getting under the blankets *Very affectionate and enjoys licking your face *A joy to train, incredibly smart, and loves earning praise and treats *Enjoys doggie food puzzles and is skilled at figuring things out *Is goofy, loves toys and appreciates having a human companion during playtime *Enjoys bounding after a bouncing ball in the yard! *Medium energy- playtime in the yard, coupled with a walk and a training session leaves her content. Petunia’s Dietary Delights: Petunia is a gourmand with a taste for healthy snacks, enjoying a variety of veggies and fruits. Her favorite rewards include cheese and luncheon turkey. Yogurt in her Kong or lick mat, especially when frozen, adds an extra layer of happiness to her day. Can you be Petunia’s special person? She has a lot of love to give and with time and training, she will thrive in the right home! All fostering expenses are covered by the rescue.
