Petal arrived timid and withdrawn, her spirit weighed down by a tough past. At about 4 years old and weighing 31 pounds, she came to the shelter painfully thin, nervous, and needing to be carried outside. Lately, she's begun to show small signs of trust—taking treats, venturing out of her kennel, and revealing a gentle curiosity. Given a few weeks in a caring foster home, she’s starting to feel safer, learning the world doesn’t have to be scary. You’ll see her gratitude when she feels a gentle touch. Petal needs a calm, loving environment where she can truly blossom at her own pace. If you’re patient and ready to show kindness, you could be the one to help her discover what a good home feels like. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
