My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Petunia is an 6-7 year old chihuahua who is as sweet as the day is long. She is only 4 pounds and loves to snuggle and be with her person. She would not be good for young children because of her size but would be a wonderful adult companion to couple, single person looking for company or a senior citizen looking for a dedicated companion. Petunia is great riding cars, curls up in your lap & falls to sleep. She is very smart too, taught herself to use to pet steps on & off the couch. She really is a sweet baby.
Update from Petunia's foster mom: She is great w/other dogs, not playful, but really enjoys being around other dogs, ignores cats completely. She is a big cuddlier, always in your lap or next to you. Travels well in the car, just curls up on your lap, is crate trained too. She isn't very active, content to lounge around all day, seems to be leash trained. She isn't very outgoing, but not shy or timid. She'd be great w/older kids who can be gentle w/her, doesn't mind being held or toted around.
Petunia's adoption donation is $125 to cover her transport and vetting costs. She had her teeth cleaned also so that saves you several hundred dollars! She is ready for her new forever home!
