About Petunia

Meet Petunia, a one-year-old Pug/Beagle mix weighing in at a petite 16 pounds. She’s happiest by your side, whether you’re on the couch, strolling at a café, or catching the sunset in the park. Petunia is a true companion dog who loves everyone—kids, adults, even strangers—and she gets along easily with other dogs. She’s also cat-friendly, politely ignoring feline roommates. Apartment living suits her well, but she’s always up for an adventure and adapts to almost any situation. Petunia is house trained, walks well on a leash, and knows basic commands like “sit” and “down.” She’s currently learning “place” and picks up new things quickly. Her food motivation makes training straightforward. At night, she sleeps quietly in her crate, though she’s still working through some separation anxiety. Left alone, she can get upset and vocal, but she does settle down in time. Her adopter will need patience and a willingness to help her build confidence being on her own. If you’re searching for a loyal little shadow who wants to be involved in every part of your day, Petunia could be the perfect addition to your life. Ready to fall in love?
