Story
Meet Petunia!
Petunia is a 20-pound Bichon mix from Tijuana, Mexico, and she is looking for her forever home!
Petunia is an outdoor-loving, affection-seeking, curious little girl. She is obsessed with her reflection and stops to say hello every time she passes a mirror. She is admittedly more interested in people than dogs but is excited to meet new friends of all kinds (including cats!) She is very respectful of everyone’s space and is an excellent listener. She responds to her name and your voice when called, even when she’s being mischievous.
Petunia is a PRO at behaving well outside. Cars twice her size? No fear. Cyclone-level winds? No fear. A loose piece of newspaper blowing in the wind? Suspicious. Conspiracy.
She does get the twisties on walks where she switches sides, but other than that, she does well! Petunia hasn’t been here long but is doing great with potty training. Her new home will have to continue working with her on this!
She is also working on crate training. She has a bit of separation anxiety at first but will self-soothe with time.
We haven’t figured out her favorite toy yet because she mostly wants scratches and cuddles, but she enjoys flavored bone chew toys and stole a cat toy from her foster brother.
Never far from your side, Petunia wants to be part of a duo and is always ready for an adventure. She is still a bit of an anxious girl as she settles into her new NYC life, but we’re sure she’ll open up once she finds her forever home.
Vaccinated for rabies, DHPP, bordetella, and Lepto. Neutered, heartworm negative, and microchipped. Current on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention.
To apply to adopt Petunia, visit our website (www.waggytailrescue.org) for an application. It is important to fill out an application as soon as possible for consideration, and we require a complete application for you to meet an animal. We are currently unable to respond to general email inquiries as an all-volunteer run rescue. If the dog is on our website, they are still available.
Waggytail Rescue CANNOT guarantee the exact age of any adoptable dog, or final size of any of our adoptable puppies. We rely on the information provided to us by veterinarians, shelters, owner surrenders and other circumstances bringing the dog into our rescue.
