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. Petunia comes from a high-kill shelter area, and by adopting her, you are saving a life and opening up space for another pet in need. She is playful, curious, and affectionate, fitting right into her foster home with multiple dogs, a cat, and young children. Petunia is great at reading cues from other dogs and is incredibly loving with everyone she meets. She enjoys being part of the family's daily activities, whether playing outside, especially in the snow, or cuddling up for affection. She has a wonderful balance of playful energy and cuddly sweetness, enjoying romps with her dog friends and then settling down for naps. Petunia has been gentle and affectionate with the 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 after a day of activity. 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. She has already shown she can do great with kids and has been gentle and affectionate with the young children in her foster home. Most of all, Petunia is looking for a family who will continue guiding her with patience, structure, and lots of love as she grows into an amazing lifelong companion.
Ongoing Health
All vetting, including 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 with free lifetime registration are included.
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.
