Petunia is a 1-year-old female French Bulldog, left behind with a roommate when her owner moved out. She is a lively, playful pup who gets along well with other dogs and loves just about everyone. Her caregiver reports that she is crate trained and knows how to walk on a leash, but can be a bit of a puller. She does not enjoy loud noises like thunder or fireworks, but really enjoys her squeaky toys. Petunia is hoping to find a forever family that will be patient with her as she learns, and who will provide her with all of the 1-on-1 training, exercise, and playtime a young and very active dog needs to thrive (young Frenchies can be just as wild and energetic as any other breed!). French Bulldogs require daily maintenance care for their wrinkles and their ears to prevent yeast and bacterial infections. They also need special consideration to prevent overheating & chilling in hot or cold weather, and may require special diets, as they tend to be prone to food allergies or sensitivities. More info to come as we get to know her better.
If you think you might be interested in adopting, your first step should be to complete an Adoption Application. *After you have completed your application, you will get a confirmation that we have received your application. It takes a lot of time to process the applications, so we ask for your patience while we do so. If you see that the dog you were interested in has been adopted it means there were many applications for that dog and we did not get as far as processing your application before a home was found. We welcome you to apply again if you see another dog that interests you. If you have a question, please email your question to adoptions@caninerescue.org. It is much easier and quicker for us to respond by email as we receive many phone calls each day.
We do adopt out of state, however we do not transport or ship dogs. Potential adopter must be able and willing to travel to the Rescue to meet the dog they are interested in.
*PLEASE double check all of the phone numbers that you provide as if they are incorrect, we will be unable to process your application. Please also let your references know that someone from NCCR will be calling them. Most adoption team members call from their personal phone so advise your references that there may be an unknown number or a private number calling them.
Petunia is sponsored by Melford Swanson, David Grayson, David and Nancy DeLand. Thank you!
