Today’s dog is Petunia, an adult female pit bull terrier mix with dark “chocolately”-black fur.

Petunia currently resides at PSPCA’s Animal Care & Control Team (ACCT). She came in as a stray.

Little Petunia is a sweet and extremely affectionate dog. She is gentle and calm and wants nothing more than to climb on your lap. Petunia really could use some TLC so she can bloom into a beautiful flower.

Petunia does well with her dog meets and in fact doesn’t show much interest in the other dogs but instead wants to be pet and get loving by her human friends. Although she doesn’t show much interest in cats, she has some scratches on her face that are consistent with cat scratches so it may be better for Petunia to live in a house without cats.

She is a very calm dog and would make a wonderful cuddle buddy. Whether you are watching TV or taking a stroll to the ice cream parlor – Petunia makes a great companion. She is a medium to low energy dog. Because she is past the puppy stage, she isn’t jumpy or mouthy and would probably be great with children.

If you are interested in Petunia and have dogs of your own, please bring at least one of them to make sure there is no major personality clash. Please also bring proof that you are allowed to have dogs/cats at your home if you rent or be prepared that the adoption staff will call your landlord before approving your application.

If you would like to adopt or foster Petunia or need more information please call 267-385-3800 or stop by ACCT (111 W. Hunting Park Avenue).
