See Petra’s HomepageGo to our official website Meet Petra — a one-year-old, 66-lb black lab mix with a heart as big as her smile. She was found by two kind people in rural Kentucky who brought her to safety, and after spending time with a temporary foster, she finally made her way to Chicago on November 21 for a new beginning Petra is spayed, fully vaccinated, and full of love. She adores people and lights up on walks, eagerly greeting ev eryone she sees. She also enjoys playing with her brother Cole and sticking close to her humans whenever she can. Since arriving in the city, Petra has quickly learned how to use stairs and even ride the elevator — she’s smart, adaptable, and eager to please. She’s a great eater, loves bully sticks, and shares nicely without resource guarding. Because she lived outside for a while prior to rescue, Petra would benefit from a family willing to guide her with patience and positive training. She’s a sweet, happy, curious girl who’s grateful for every comfort and ready to continue learning. Petra is a big, lovable companion who can’t wait to find a forever home where she can thrive, be adored, and give all the affection she’s been saving up.   The adoption fee of $400 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm and any other necessary medical treatment to assure a healthy new pup for your family. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Although we do our best to describe breed, since our pups all come from shelters we can not and will not make any guarantee on breed or size. We can tell you that they are 100% RESCUED! And that is the BEST breed! *please note that we are a foster home based rescue and we do home visits as part of the adoption process – we are unable to adopt to families who live outside of the Chicago and surrounding suburbs. Thank you for your understanding.
