Meet Petunia! This adorable 11-month-old Lab mix puppy is a sweet, social girl who loves people, dogs, kids, and being part of an active family. Currently thriving in her foster home with multiple dogs, a cat, and young children, Petunia has proven to be a loving, adaptable pup who fits right into busy family life. Petunia comes from an area with extreme pet overpopulation, and by adopting her, you are not only saving her life but also opening up space for another animal in need. Petunia is a playful, curious, and affectionate girl who enjoys being around her people, whether she's playing outside (especially in the snow!) or cuddling up for affection. She has a wonderful balance of puppy energy and sweetness, is gentle with young children, and comfortable around the family cat.
Ideal Home
Petunia would thrive in a home that is ready for the fun and adventure of raising a puppy. She would love a family of any size that enjoys spending time together, whether that's playing in the yard, going for walks, or relaxing at home. Because she is so social and has done wonderfully with other dogs, she would enjoy having a canine sibling, but she would also be okay as an only dog, soaking up all the attention.
Ongoing Health
Petunia is up-to-date on all vetting, which includes DAPP with booster, Bordetella, Rabies vaccine, multiple broad-spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter, flea prevention, a 12-month heartworm preventative injectable, heartworm test and treatment if needed, and a microchip. She comes with a health certificate deeming her healthy for travel.
Training & Support
Petunia is still young and will need a family committed to training, socialization, and all the dedication puppyhood requires. Implementing routine, structure, boundaries, and proper socialization from the start is essential. We require adoptive families to crate train their puppy immediately upon arrival in their new home, which helps with potty training, energy management, and developing a well-balanced adult dog.
Application Details:
- Applications start by contacting us through Wags.
- You will have the opportunity to meet your pet through a video call before finalizing the adoption.
