Petunia update and adoption

Petunia's pregnant pooch ended up being weight gain from being so wormy. She is doing fabulous still though!! We wanted to make sure everyone who was following her story and who helped save her life knew the update and knew she didn't have puppies. We still appreciate everyones help in saving this sweet baby.
She is now up for adoption and hopes to find her forever home. She has a second chance at life after being saved from death row, and she is still living it up with her foster family.
She's a spoiled rotten mischevious princess who thinks everything should revolve around her. She is a total sweetheart though!
If interested in adopting her please contact us and we will begin the application process.

Petunia is still doing wonderfully!! She appears to be filling out in her bag now and has a bit of a "pregnant" pooch. She was very wormy when she came in to us, so she was wormed with pregnant safe wormer to get rid of the worms. She hasn't put on a lot of weight, but the worms were eating a lot of her food, so she is still trying to recoup from that. She is doing absolutly wonderful with her foster family. They love her to death! She follows them around the house, and makes herself comfortable. No accidents in the house yet or in her crate. She does like to find trouble if she can though. Despite how angelic she looks she isn't completely innocent. Haha! Pictures below taken today.

Petunia is still doing fabulous!! She's learning a lot and loves her foster family. She goes on daily walks multiple times, and she is loving everything. She walks a lot with her foster friend Daisy and they have a wonderful time!!
Pics were taken today, October 1.
As you can see she still has her classical Petunia yawn. Something about her and picture taking that makes her get sleepy evidently.

Petunia here....

As I type this I'm sitting on one of my foster Mom's beds using her computer. She said she wanted me to say a few words, soooo I figured I'd pop on to say Hi! As soon as I finish I've got to finish my nap though.
I'm doing fabulous! Settled in now to my new foster home, and having the time of my life. We go on multiple walks each day, I'm working on crate and house training, and what time we aren't doing that, I'm mosing around the house trying to keep up with everyone. I love it though! I have other doggy friends, and I met some 4 legged things that go baaaa. They are strange to say the least. I'm still trying to figure out if I should be friends, or if they look better for supper. So far things are going great though. I can't complain. I am glad to be back with my people though. I know I should never have ran away from home, but like most people, we all have a little adventure in us and I wanted to see what the real world had. It wasn't as good as being at home though, so I won't be pulling that stunt anymore. I know I worried a lot of people, and I hate that. I'm so used to not having many people care about me, that I didn't think about it before I ran away. I'm home now though and I'm soooo happy. Thank you everyone for your help, and for your love!!! My foster mom's have told me if it quits being cloudy/rainy we'll get some new pics of me hopefully. So just hang on tight, and we'll get some soon.
Thanks for checking in!! Now, I hate to jet but I've got to get in my nap before it's time to go walk again while dodging rain showers.
Hugs and kisses to everyone!!!
Petunia

Petunia's Second Chance

I was looking at dogs needing to be saved,
As I scrolled by your picture I think it waved.
Reading your sweet face,
You could see you wanted someone’s sweet embrace.
The decision was quickly made to give you a fresh start,
But how to get you here played a huge part.
Countless hours spent to save your precious life
Trying our best to save you from your strife.
Ups and downs were all around,
But I knew we couldn’t let you down.
Trying every possible way,
To give you many more days.
We hadn’t given up yet,
But were things looking down? You bet!
Finally at last it all came together,
Despite even the gloomy weather.
You had to endure 3 legs of a trip,
But it was worth it to get the “get out of jail free” slip.
Scared and shy were you first of all,
Then you warmed up and had a ball.
Happy for your brand new chance,
You’ve got plenty of time now to prance.
Here’s a shout out to all who helped you,
Its thanks that is very much due!!
