My name is Petunia!

Petunia is a happy, curious girl. She's ready to find a great home where she'll never have to worry about being abandoned again. She loves attention! A little TLC will go a long way with her!

Her foster says "Petunia is the sweetest dog! She loves to be with her human at all times, preferably on your lap getting pets. She is house trained and crate trained, although there was some regression in both areas when we first started fostering her. But she adapted quickly! We have friends
over often and she has never responded aggressively or shyly to anyone. Immediately gives them love! She has also interacted with a couple dogs and done very well.

Petunia definitely needs some training when it comes to jumping and leash skills, but with the right trainer I think she'd be a quick learner! She would do best in a home where she can go on frequent walks or run around in the backyard to get her energy out."



Volunteers say

"We took Petunia out for a walk today and she was sweet! She did tug on the leash quite a bit, but stopped tugging so hard once she started to get wore out. She enjoyed sniffing all the things and eating treats!"

"Petunia was clearly someone's pet previously. She loved stopping to get pets and would lean in to get to snuggles. She jumped up on the bench to be close to me when we stopped for a quick rest. She knows sit, lay down and get down. She took treats gently as a reward for following all these requests. She will need to work on her leash skills but since she knows all those basic commands already and seems eager to please, I bet she'd progress well with a bit of training."

"Petunia was a very sweet girl and loved attention and praise. She did like to jump but listened very well when we said, "no jumping, or, "down, and was a very happy dog. She did pull hard on the leash and was very strong. She had calmed down and was walking very well beside us but then got scared on the trail of the fire training going on that she could see on the back side of the building by the fire department personnel that you can see from the back part of the trail after it Ys off to the left. We turned around at that point to help her calm down and she did very well again after we got back to the concrete and roadway. She loved a good belly rub also. She is a very good girl."
