Petunia's Story
******Please note, once completing the initial screen you will be connected with the placement for a video chat. Transports run every few weeks and we will have the dog on the next available transport once approved. If you are not able to accept a dog until a specific time period, please apply at that time************ We are a volunteer run rescue and donate our time to these dogs. IF you are not serious about moving forward in our adoption process, please do not apply. If someone other than yourself is part of the decision making process, please make sure you have spoken with them and they are on board. We really do not want to waste anyone's time if you are not serious about adopting this dog. Petunia, 10 weeks (estimated DOB March 2024), female, Great Pyrenees/Retriever mix, estimated medium/large size when full grown. As of 5/28/24 she weighs 16 lbs. She is in foster home in AUSTIN, TEXAS and can transport out of State once an adopter is approved. This sweet girl and her sister were surrendered when their foster was doing some street rescue in a rural area north of Houston. She came in contact with a woman who had an accidental litter and they rehomed all but two of the puppies. We were able to see mom and believe she is a Great Pyrenees mix, but are unsure what other breeds Petunia is blended with. As of 5/27/24 she weighed 16 pounds. Petunia is energetic, on the go, spunky and more bold than her sister. She has other puppies and adult dogs to run and play with. We would recommend another dog in the home to continue her socialization skills/manners. She is not housebroken or crate trained. She will need a home who is willing to put in the time and energy to raise a puppy into adulthood. She has not been around cats or kids. We always recommend homes with kids who understand and respect animal boundaries. Puppies under 6 months of age are placed on a spay/neuter contract until they are old enough to be altered. For puppies this age, someone needs to be home more than they are away as crating them for long periods of time is not conducive for their developmental needs. ***Listed BREED and AGE - We are taking our best guess & recommendations from our veterinarian on age, breed and size when fully grown. We rarely know a dog's exact age nor are we able to tell the true or full breed mix of dogs as our information is limited most of the time. *** Interested in applying to adopt her?
