My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Petunia Is a kissoholic. She can't help it. She is just so loving and affectionate with all humans. She is an active older pup who loves to run and play. She rode well in her finder's car and stayed with him for several days. She wasn't around other dogs or children. At the shelter she is determined to make sure she is not overlooked. She is very vocal when seeing dogs, humans, or anything she thinks she needs to bark at. She is jumpy but knows the sit command. She also seems to know something about house training because she usually wants to do her business outside. She is excitable and eager on a leash and likes to lead the way. She is attentive . She likes snuggling and being petted. She weighs 30 pounds and plans to grow a bit but for now she is a good lap-sized pup. Please offer sweet Petunia the home and family she deserves.
