Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Say hello to Petunia, the epitome of sweetness and calm! This lovely girl is currently in foster care, patiently waiting to find her forever home where she can bring joy and love to her new family.
Petunia is great with other dogs, paying little to no attention to them at all, making her an easy companion in multi-dog environments.
When left alone, Petunia is a perfect lady. She's non-destructive and is allowed to free roam around most of the house. You'll often find her napping on the couch, patiently awaiting your return. House trained and reliable, she only goes outside and has never had an accident indoors.
Petunia's ideal day involves lounging comfortably, soaking up affection, and perhaps a leisurely stroll. She's not high-energy but enjoys the simple pleasures of life, making her perfect for a relaxed, loving home. Her sweet and patient demeanor makes her an ideal companion for anyone looking for a loyal, easy-going friend.
If you're looking for a gentle, well-behaved, and loving dog to join your family, Petunia is the one for you. She's ready to give all her love and bring a sense of calm and joy to your home. Come meet Petunia and let her sweet personality win you over!
