About Petunia

Meet Petunia, an 11-year-old terrier who is eager to find her forever family. After being rescued from the euthanasia list, this delicate lady is ready to enjoy her golden years full of love, comfort, and a warm bed to call her own. Petunia thrives on companionship and will gladly be your little shadow. She's happiest when she’s right by your side, whether you’re watching TV or settling down for the night—she absolutely expects to snuggle up in bed with you. However, she has her boundaries. When frightened, Petunia may become grumpy and is known to growl or snap, so a calm household without young children is ideal for her. Patience in building trust will be key. Potty training is a work in progress; she’ll need a supportive family willing to continue her training or who can keep some potty pads handy. Petunia enjoys her walks, although she may take a bit to learn new routes due to her limited vision. Adopting Petunia means welcoming a loyal, affectionate companion who would thrive in a home where someone is around often, such as those who work from home or are retired. The adoption fee is $200, covering her spay/neuter, up-to-date vaccinations, and microchip. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
