Petunia Pug San Francisco , CA

**Meet Petunia: A Pug with a Heart Full of Love**

Petunia is a sweet pug with a spirit as vibrant as her name. Rescued from a local high-kill shelter just in the nick of time, she is a testament to resilience and joy, despite her tough beginnings. At just two years old, Petunia has already faced more challenges than most dogs, likely spending much of her life outside without the care she deserves. When we found her, she was suffering from an extreme case of flea dermatitis, a condition that left her with patches of missing fur. But don't let that fool you—her beauty shines through, and she's well on her way to a full recovery, with her fur slowly growing back.

Petunia has a unique personality that will melt your heart. With a screw loose in the cutest way possible, she has a knack for expressing her excitement through happy screams and playful noises. Whether it’s dinner time or cuddle time, Petunia’s enthusiasm is infectious. Her favorite place is right beside her human, soaking up all the love and attention she can get.

While Petunia is a bundle of joy, she prefers to be the center of attention and would thrive as the only pet in her new home. Sometimes, she gets a bit grumpy with other dogs, so she’s looking for a family where she can be the star. Despite her previous hardships, Petunia has so much love to give and just needs someone willing to give her the chance she’s been waiting for.

We know that pugs can sometimes be overlooked, but they make the most wonderful companions. Petunia is no exception—she’s a delightful little soul ready to bring laughter and love into your life. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate friend who will always be by your side, consider opening your heart to Petunia. She’s ready to start a new chapter and make beautiful memories with a family that truly loves her.

Please give Petunia the chance she deserves—she’s been waiting her whole life for someone like you.

***Why Adopt from Foster Tales?***

Foster Tales is based in Bakersfield, California, home to two of the state's highest-kill shelters. Kern County faces high poverty rates, exacerbating the animal overpopulation crisis and making it difficult to find local homes for the daunting amount of homeless animals in the area. By adopting from us, you enable us to continue rescuing dogs from dire situations. To-date, we’ve placed nearly 200 dogs into loving homes.

Our adoption process includes a counseling session with a certified trainer ensuring a smooth transition for you and your new best friend. ***We keep our pet listings current and respond to inquiries within 48 hours.***

We serve all of California with flexible transport options, including meeting halfway or arranging direct transport for an additional contribution to cover costs. We do consider out-of-state adopters as well.

Thank you for choosing adoption and making a difference!
