Meet Petra, the bravest little girl you'll ever have the pleasure of meeting! 🌟 This sweet soul has faced heartache that many of us couldn't even imagine. Born in St. Lucia, she started her journey with a mother and siblings, but, tragically, their fate remains unknown. At just 10 weeks old, Petra found herself all alone, scavenging for scraps and dodging cars—all while evading further abuse. Talk about resilience! 💪 When a dedicated volunteer from a rescue group spotted her, she was trembling with fear, barely able to eat. It was heartbreaking to see her quickly snatch a morsel and disappear like a ghost into a hole by a stream. Eventually, she was safely trapped and taken to a shelter, weighing only 8 pounds. 😟 She bears the scars of her past: a notable mark across her mouth and burns on her inner thigh, along with joint issues from an old injury. But don’t let that fool you—thanks to some supplements and medication, she zips around like the energetic rabbit she is! 🐇 After spending over a year in a small concrete pen, Petra was finally adopted by a family in the U.S. However, her new owner worked long hours, and they couldn't provide the training she desperately needed. Imagine living in isolation—her world grew too overwhelming, and after a slip-up, she found herself lost for two days, nearly drowning in a river full of weeds. 😱 Now, in the loving care of Bruno Project Rescue, Petra is thriving with the help of her foster siblings, who are teaching her the ropes of being a happy dog. 💖 She still has a way to go, but her journey is truly inspiring! She's looking for a special, patient person who understands her needs and can dedicate time to help her blossom in a calm home—no little kiddos, please! After all, the hustle and bustle might be a bit too much for her. Meeting strangers is still a little daunting for her, but she approaches with caution and curiosity. With a little respect for her space, she can foster friendships on her own terms. When it comes to walks, Petra is making strides! 🚶‍♀️ It’ll take time for her to become comfortable with consistent short walks, and she might be spooked by traffic, but throw on that harness, and trust us, you’ll see her jumping for joy! 🎉 Once she’s settled in, she’ll be your ideal walking or jogging buddy, reveling in the thrill of exploration alongside her favorite person. A lover of dogs, bones, and toys, Petra also knows how to amuse herself—she’s one intelligent girl! 🧠 And talk about a superstar in her crate: she’s fully house-trained and has never had an accident! Nighttime is a dream for her; she'll sleep soundly until you come to greet her. And let’s not forget breakfast—it’s her moment of glory! She’ll stand on her back legs with pure excitement, ready to celebrate the day with some scrumptious food! 🥳 Petra is ready to share her abundance of love and is learning—step by tiny step—how to trust people again.
