About Petunia

Meet Petunia! 🌸 This adorable little furball is on her quest to find her forever home, and oh boy, is she worth every moment! With a big personality and a heart full of love, Petunia needs someone special to share her life with. This girl is not just any dog; she’s a feisty, lovable mix of Shar Pei, Frenchie, and Pug, and she’s just under a year old. Petunia has had a bit of a rocky start due to a congenital spinal issue that made walking a challenge. But guess what? This resilient little lady has taken it all in stride! After some medical help, she’s learned how to walk, trot, and even run (albeit a wobbly run that might remind you of a toddler on a sugar high! 😂). With the occasional use of a wheelchair, she’s zooming around and embracing life to the fullest—spine difficulties don’t define her! While she might have a few special needs when it comes to mobility, Petunia is just a regular dog at heart who needs a loving home. She thrives on routine—meal times and potty breaks are her jam! Someone who spends more time at home, or works remotely, would be the perfect match for this vivacious spirit. Though she adores playing with other dogs, she has a little sass and can act like a tiny bully, so a patient and gentle corrective hand from her human will go far! She does well with dogs around her size or just a bit larger—you could say she likes to maintain her stature! Petunia is also crate trained and loves her cozy little den where she eats, sleeps, and rests. Just a little friendly reminder: she can be a bit of a chewer, loving her toys a bit too much, so leaving her unattended with anything she can munch on is a no-go! Safety first, friends! This little love enjoys a couple of short walks daily, which she just cherishes, and she’s learned to communicate her potty needs like a pro! Despite her challenges, she can run, jump, and play just like any other pup! Imagine witnessing her joy as she zooms around the yard! Now, let’s talk about her ideal living situation. She prefers places without stairs (no mountaineering for this girl!), and though initially shy around strangers, she has a heart of gold under that tough exterior, believing she’s a little guard dog (with a “bark being mightier than the bite” philosophy). So, do you have space in your heart and home for this brave little soul? If you’re ready to give Petunia the loving environment she craves and deserve, don’t wait any longer! She’s waiting for you to apply through the Buddy App—her future is just a few clicks away! 💕
