Meet Petunia! This absolutely adorable 11-month-old Lab mix is a sweet, social girl who loves people, dogs, kids, and being part of an active family. She comes from an area with extremely high shelter populations, and by adopting her, you are saving her life and opening up a space for another animal in need. Petunia is playful, curious, and affectionate, and she’s thriving in her foster home. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs, including a puppy, and has been gentle and affectionate with the young children (ages 1 and 3) and the family cat. She adores people and fits right into the fun of family life, whether she’s playing in the yard (especially in the snow!) or cuddling up for some affection. Petunia has a great balance of playful energy and sweet cuddliness.
Ideal Home
Petunia would thrive in a home that is ready for the fun and adventure of raising a puppy and is committed to ongoing training and socialization. She would love a family of any size that enjoys spending time together, whether that’s playing outside, going for walks, or relaxing at home. She would enjoy having a canine sibling, but would also be happy as an only dog, soaking up all the attention.
Ongoing Health
Petunia is up-to-date on all vetting, including vaccinations, deworming, flea and heartworm prevention, and has been spayed. She will receive 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.
