About Petunia

Meet Petunia! This lovely brindle puppy is ready for her forever home after being surrendered to animal control. At about 19-20 weeks old, she’s going to grow into a large companion. We're told she might be a Pitbull/Husky mix, but her exact blend is a bit of a mystery. Petunia adores other dogs and would thrive in an environment with a canine buddy who can show her the ropes. She would do well with children who can manage her youthful energy. Though she might be a little shy initially, once she warms up to you, her lively spirit shines through! Although she’s making progress on her leash walking, she still has some learning to do. Daily training sessions have helped her improve, but she remains a bit unsure at times. Petunia is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. Ready to add some joy to your life?
