Petunia came to us along with her sister, Rose, from a shelter in Kansas. They traveled a long way to get here so they could find their special homes.
Socialization/training: Petunia has been well socialized with dogs, cats and children since arriving to the rescue. She knows to go to her crate for meals and we are just starting on some basic commands training.
Crate trained: Petunia is mostly crate trained. Right now she is crated with her sister so I am sure she will have an adjustment when going to her new home and it's very normal for puppies to cry in their crate when adjusting to a new home but they both settled in quickly here. They don't poop in their crate but their has been a couple pee accidents but it seems like they are improving as they get older.
Leash trained: They are not formally leash trained but they do well on a leash and don't pull much. My almost 2 year old toddler was able to walk them on a leash without much issue.
Activity Level: They are both pretty chill puppies although I would say Petunia is the more calm and cuddly of the two. She is a little more shy and reserved and waits for another dog to engage her before she starts to play. She is definitely a lover.
Fence: A fence is recommended for these two but isn't necessary for someone who is committed to decent length leash walks every day. They cannot be outside of a fence off-lead due to their impairments.
Behavior: The first night we got Petunia in she just laid in a dog bed in our living room and I just loved on her. She is a little shy but warms up to everyone the second they pet her. She is extremely sweet and cuddly and likes to play with other dogs but doesn't like to play super rough. She is great with kids and other animals and I think she would do amazing in most homes.
