Story
Petal is one of six adorable little souls were rescued from a heartbreaking hoarding case in Mississippi. Found on a property with their mom (who is also available for adoption through us) and many other dogs in dire conditions, their story is one of resilience and hope. A dedicated local rescuer went above and beyond to save as many dogs as possible from that dire situation, and we are thrilled to have this lovely family in our care.Here's a link to their story on FB - be prepared - the pictures are depressing at best:https://www.facebook.com/share/ghrUMnQNEhNQazDB/?mibextid=WC7FNePetal is a sweet girl who loves her humans and playing with other dogs. She is always on the lookout for pets or a toy to play with, and has loved all the attention she gets on neighborhood walks when people stop to say hi to this beautiful puppy. She is very food motivated and has been picking up on commands quickly! Petal sleeps through the night in her crate and is happy to take naps or play with her toys while crated as well. She hasn't had a single accident inside since coming up here! This precious girl is looking for someone to love her just as much as she loves them (which is a lot). She is quiet and rarely barks unless playing, which is one of her favorite pastimes - especially with her humans. She does great in the car, is gentle with kids, and has shown little interest in cats. Petal is so eager to find her forever home and bring joy to her new family.

This requirement is for the benefit of you and your puppy, so if you experience behavior issues, you have a point of contact. PLEASE—Think long and hard before adopting a puppy. Consider the lifestyle change this puppy will come with. He cannot be crated for more than 3-4 hours at a time until he's older. Puppy proofing your home will be necessary. Puppies scratch and nip, so if you have small children, can they handle this? Training will be so important in this puppy's life.
