About Petunia
Petunia’s journey hasn’t been easy. Once an outdoor dog who faced abandonment during her pregnancy, she bravely gave birth on the streets and cared for her puppies until they were rescued. After ensuring her little ones found homes, it’s finally her turn to find a forever family. Petunia is a petite Australian Cattle Dog mix, weighing about 28 pounds. Don't let her size fool you; she embodies the intelligence and instincts of her breed. An experienced adopter who understands working breeds will help her thrive. Though she currently lives with other dogs and enjoys their company, a home with or without another dog can work as long as she continues to socialize. Petunia isn’t used to living with cats, so it would be best to avoid a home with them. Having spent a lot of time outside, she benefits from routine and direction, particularly for potty breaks. She is crate trained and responsive when expectations are clear. Despite her breed traits, she doesn’t need a high-energy lifestyle, but she does need structure and patience as she transitions into this new chapter. Most importantly, Petunia longs for someone who will give her the love and stability she deserves. She’s ready to leave survival behind and embrace being a cherished pet. Currently fostered in Houston, Texas, Petunia is available for adoption across the country. Her $600 adoption fee includes transport to her new family. If you’re ready to give Petunia the life she’s been waiting for, apply today!
