She's named for one simple flower, but Petunia has a whole bouquet of love, just for you!
Petunia is so excited to be with you. She looks at you with those absurdly sweet eyes as if she's known you and loved you forever. She is bright, playful, prancing around the yards before making her way right back to you for pets and treats. Petunia is social with dogs on walks and in playgroup, and at home she would love to shine as your one and only, ride-or-die gal. Toddlers are a little too loud for her liking, but older kids and adults are her everything. She's already housetrained and has great manners in the home: not much of a chewer or a barker, just a good girl who wants the simple joy of hanging out by your side.
So what do you say? Give her a chance? Petunia is waiting to make your day at our Adoption Center!
