About Petal

Meet Petal, a beautiful white-and-tan Lab mix who's a bit more cushiony than she should be—no judgment here, just a snack surplus we're calling it. At 45 pounds, she's ready to shed a few extra pounds with a little help from her new best friend. Petal thrives outdoors, whether it's long walks, hikes, or simply lounging in the yard. She's an adult dog with a calm demeanor, happy to skip the puppy chaos and enjoy the peaceful moments of life. If you're ready for a companion who loves being active yet knows how to relax, Petal is your girl. Her expressive, cartoon-character-like eyes seem to say, "Did you say TREATS?"—they might have contributed to her current weight, but with some outdoor adventures, she’ll be back to a healthy size in no time. Spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, and heartworm negative, she’s ready to find her forever home. If you’re looking for a lovely, mature dog who can be your walking buddy and loves to enjoy the simple pleasures in life, come meet Petal. Fresh as a petal, slightly overstuffed at the moment, and very eager to bloom. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
