About Petunia
Petunia’s journey hasn’t been easy, starting off as an abandoned dog forced to navigate life on the streets. After finding herself pregnant, she had to fend for herself and her puppies until they could be rescued. She did remarkably well, ensuring all her babies found loving homes before turning her attention to her own needs. Now, Petunia is ready for her forever family. She’s been spayed, vaccinated, and has completed heartworm treatment, so she’s healthy and waiting for the right person to choose her. This petite Australian Cattle Dog mix weighs about 28 pounds, and despite her small size, she carries the typical traits of her breed – intelligence, drive, and the need for direction. An ideal home for Petunia would be with someone experienced with working breeds. She thrives around other dogs, enjoying continued socialization, and although she can be placed as the only dog in the home, another companion would help her adapt. Currently, she does not get along with cats, but she is comfortable around livestock when directed appropriately. Petunia has learned the value of routine, and as such, would benefit from a structured environment that includes consistent potty breaks. She’s currently crate trained and responds well to clear expectations. While she may not demand high-energy adventures every day, she does seek stability and patience in her new life. Above all, she’s longing for someone committed to her happiness, helping her transition from survival mode to being simply loved as a cherished family member. Petunia is fostered in Houston, TX, but can be adopted nationwide, with her $600 fee covering transportation to her new home.
