***************************

Petunia is a 3 year old chihuahua that was removed from a hoarding situation in May of 2017.  She is a little shy at first, but quickly warms up to new people. She gets along well with other small dogs, and cats. Petunia has even been around chickens at her foster home and she does not try and bother them.  Petunia has two large foster sisters (large dogs) and she is a little intimidated by them.  She prefers to hang with dogs closer to her size.  She does well with older, dog savvy children.  She is house trained, crate trained and extremely food motivated.  She weighed 10# when first rescued but is now closer to 15# (and on a diet).  Petunia is in search of a special family to call her own.  This little darling deserves the best....

Petunia is spayed, microchipped, heartworm negative, current on heartworm/flea prevention and vaccinations. She does have luxating patellas on both rear legs, but she gets around well.


All of our dogs are spayed/ neutered before adoption. Adult dogs have had their core vaccines---parvo, distemper, bordatella, and rabies, All dogs are tested and are heartworm negative.  In addition they have been de-wormed and kept on heartworm prevention and flea prevention while in foster care. Most dogs come with a micr-chip already implanted. Adoption fees range from 235.00- 275.00 depending on the dog. Many times the adoption fee does not even cover the cost of all of the vetting we have done for a dog.   In addition, some of our dogs are fostered in the South and come up once adopted---There is an additional transport fee for these dogs.  Please contact the person listed in the bio for more information on a particular dog. We are very careful in placing our dogs--and look for the best home for each dog--All of our dogs are fostered in private homes, with fosters who get to know the dogs and know the types of home that would be best for each dog. Thank you for considering a rescued pet and we look forward to helping you find a great dog match--
