Meet Petunia: 4 pounds of Chihuahua and approximately 87 pounds of personality Petunia may be tiny, but she lives life like she owns the place. This little Chihuahua powerhouse is equal parts cuddle bug, toy enthusiast, and self-appointed household supervisor. Her favorite hobby? Playing fetch with squeaky toys… and then stealing everyone else’s toys too. Sharing is apparently for other dogs. She gets along well with other dogs and enjoys having playmates, but she’s also perfectly capable of entertaining herself like the independent queen she is. One minute she’s demanding snuggle time, the next she’s off doing mysterious tiny-dog business on her own. Truly the best of both worlds. Petunia can be a little barky when she wants something or spots suspicious activity outside the window (such as leaves moving, neighbors existing, or birds having the audacity to fly by). She may be slow to warm up in new situations at first, but once she realizes everything is fine, her confidence kicks in fast. She’s house trained, does well in her crate, and absolutely loves hanging out in bed—even when you aren’t there. Why sleep in her bed when she can supervise yours instead? Because Petunia is so very tiny, she’d do best in a home with older kids or dog-savvy younger children who understand how delicate little dogs can be. She could easily be accidentally hurt by rough handling or busy toddler energy. If you’re looking for a hilarious, feisty, affectionate little sidekick with endless charm packed into a microscopic body, Petunia is ready to rule your household with love.

Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most of the dogs, we are only guessing at the predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label. We expect that all adopted dogs will enroll in a formal dog training class with their new owners. Obedience and training classes are an excellent way to learn more about your newly adopted dog, gain handling and training experience, and improve your relationship with your pet.
