Meet Petunia! This sweet, social, and curious 11-month-old Lab mix is a bundle of fun who loves people, dogs, and kids. She's currently thriving in her foster home, getting along wonderfully with other dogs, a cat, and even two very young children. Petunia is adaptable and eager to be part of an active family life. She comes from a high-need area where shelters are facing overcrowding, so by adopting her, you're not only saving her life but also making space for another dog in need. Petunia has a great balance of playful energy and cuddly affection, enjoying everything from romping in the snow to cozy naps.
Ideal Home
Petunia would thrive in a home that's ready for the adventure of raising a puppy. She'd love a family of any size that enjoys spending time together, whether it's playing in the yard, going for walks, or relaxing at home. While she enjoys the company of other dogs and would be happy with a canine sibling, she would also be content 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.
Ongoing Health
Petunia is up-to-date on all her 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 with free lifetime registration.
Training & Support
Petunia is still young and will need a family committed to consistent 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.
