Petal's Story

Don't let her petite size fool you-Petal is a playful, smart, and spunky girl who packs a lot of personality into her little frame. She might act like a tough cookie in the kennel (we think she's got a bit of a "big dog" complex!), but once she's out and about, her sweet, silly side shines through.<br/><br/>Petal lives for playtime. Her absolute favorite thing in the world? Tug-of-war with her beloved stuffed toys-especially a certain little porcupine. She'll charm you by placing it gently in your hand, only to playfully yank it away at the last second with a mischievous sparkle in her eye. She's independent, athletic, and always up for a game-unless toys are around, in which case...good luck getting her attention!<br/><br/>She already knows how to sit and is eager to learn more, especially with the right motivation (like a fun game or treat). While she can be a bit reactive in her kennel-especially with other dogs nearby-she responds well to correction and may surprise us all with how she blossoms in a home environment.<br/><br/>If you're looking for an active, clever, and entertaining companion who will keep you smiling, Petal might just be your perfect match. Come meet her and see why we've all fallen for this sneaky, sweet little tug-of-war champ.
