PETUNIA NEEDS a
FOSTER HOME soon!! (or a good loving home with no other pets, no young children)
PETUNIA
loves her volunteer friends in the shelter, but has lingered in her
kennel for weeks because she is afraid of meeting new people = she runs
to the back of her kennel when strangers look in at her, and when she is
shown to a potential adopter in the yard, she is too afraid to meet
them.
In a home, PETUNIA is silly and lively and loves her toys. She
is working on housetraining and needs someone who will take her out on a
regular schedule. She is fun, cuddly and a special little dog who may
not have had the best home prior to her stay in a foster home (returned
because she was not good with dogs at home)
PETUNIA MUST be the only pet in the home (hasn't been with cats, but she would chase and harass them) and she does not understand other dogs correcting her, and she goes into defense mode.
She is a darling little dog. CAN YOU FOSTER HER??
============
PETUNIA is afraid in the shelter (too much barking, too many strangers looking into her kennel), but has settled into having the security/predictability of kennel life.
She loves to give kisses, get cuddles, and be taken out on walks by the volunteers. She ADORES her people friends!! Petunia has her own unique tiny pitbull terrier personality, and has charmed her shelter fans that love her. We hope she finds a loving and caring and committed home where she is appreciated just for being herself.
Petunia needs to be the only dog in the home (and no doubt she would harrass any cat, unknown) No apartments please as she really needs/deserves a nice safe fenced yard to be able to run around in. No young kids - she can be jumpy/mouthy, and this little girl really needs a WIN in her life!!
Please ask if you can meet Petunia in a quiet office space, and sit down with her and give her time to get to know you. (chicken helps!) It would be great if you could come by more than once.

NEEDS a house with fenced yard to safely run and play fetch
Hello, future pet parent! I'm Petunia, a gentle soul with a heart as
delicate as my name. Initially shy and fearful, I might need a little
time to blossom, but once I do, get ready for a burst of joy and
affection. My absolute favorite pastime? Playing fetch! I'm not just
good; I'm lightning-fast, and watching me zoom around your yard with
pure delight is sure to bring a smile to your face. Fetch is my happy
place, and I can't wait to share those moments of joy with you.
I've discovered that I shine brightest as the only pet in the home. I'm
not always on the same page as my fellow canine friends, and I prefer
the spotlight all to myself. With your undivided attention, I can be the
perfect petunia in your garden of love. If you're seeking a loyal,
playful companion who just needs a little time to bloom into the best
version of herself, I'm Petunia, waiting for a patient and loving home.
Let's embark on this journey together and create a beautiful bond that
lasts a lifetime.
