Hey doggy lovers! My name is Petunia, named after a flower because I am a delicate, beautiful, and strong. I am a one and a half year old Lab/Retriever mix girl weighing around 50 lbs. I came from Louisiana a few weeks ago. Now I am ready to find my forever home!
On average, it takes 100 shares and 100 likes for a dog to find a home! Please share my story so my forever family will find me!
I am house trained. I have had a few accidents in my new foster daddy’s home, but we worked hard together and I am proud to say that I no longer use the washroom in the house. I love toys, whenever I get a chance I like to prove that no toy is indestructible. I sometimes need a cue if I am doing something mischievous and getting into things I shouldn’t be.
I was previously fostered in Louisiana with multiple dogs, while I was recovering from my surgery. I had no issues at all there. However, since being in Canada, I had a couple of incidents with my last 2 foster homes. I was fine for the first couple days but then I wasn’t. I’m not sure what happened or why but I bit the resident’s dogs. This was not my proudest moment. I am now in a pet free foster home and should continue to be in one for my forever home. I don’t seem to have any issues playing with dogs outside as I have been playing with multiple dogs frequently outside. Although I think being muzzle trained would be ideal. I did see a cat and did not try to chase them but again pet free is ideal.
So about my surgery, I had a hip replacement which took some time to heal. But the good news is that I got the latest brand. Still working on getting used to it, that is probably why i sit funny sometimes or on walks I tend to pull. I am learning not to jump on people but I get so excited to see people I forget my manners.
I am not nervous around anyone. This is probably not a good trait cause I don’t know what stranger danger is. I do not bark at all. Actually, that is not true my foster daddy once caught me barking in my sleep but that’s about it. He was getting worried that I might have been mute. I’ll accept love in the form of pets anytime but my favourite thing is food. I am totally food motivated. I don’t even care if it’s edible.
I love the vet! I just went for a full check up and the place is like willy wonka chocolate factory. It’s pretty much unlimited treats, while they poked and prodded me but its totally worth it. I got a clean bill of health.
I love going for walks! I’ll sit at the door and wait to go out to do my business. I don’t mind going in the car with you, I love the front seat especially if you have heated seats, what can I say, I am a princess.
I’m a super cuddly gal that would love to lie on the couch with you or on top of you. My foster paw-rents gave me my own bed but I’d much rather be in theirs. I am also crate trained, you just have to point and say kennel. Most times I listen but I will always listen if you have food in your hand.
I am a really good girl who is looking for a home where I can be your one and only. If you think I am the girl for you, fill out an application today.
My adoption fee is a $500 donation to the rescue to help save more dogs like me. I am spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, come with a 6-week trial of pet insurance from PetSecure and have all my doggy papers to come home to you! You can apply for me at https://form.jotform.com/60895241776264
*If you have previously submitted an application for an unknown dog or any dog and you feel that I may be a fit for your family, you can just send my rescuers an email instead of submitting another application. The email address is salcarescue@salcars.ca
*Due to limited resources, only applications that suit my needs will be contacted for a potential adoption trial.
*Although we only adopt to NS, NB and PEI, matches are not based on proximity to the dog but on a best fit for the dog. We do assist as much as possible with travel for the right application within these provinces.
