See Petunia’s HomepageGo to our official websiteMeet Petunia: Your New Favorite Furry Tornado of Love   Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have a scarf that licks you? Wonder no more. Introducing Petunia — a 1.5-year-old terrier mix from Tijuana, Mexico, who is basically a snuggly, wiggly, slightly chaotic fashion accessory with feelings.   Petunia is packed with puppy energy, and we mean packed. She zips, zooms, and squiggles her way through the day, her joy as infectious as her zoomies. She's still learning that human ankles are not toys (yes, she may gently nip at your heels or hands when she's excited — we’re working on it!), but she’s incredibly smart and eager to please. She’s already mastered Level 4 dog puzzles — so if you thought you were the clever one in the house, prepare to be humbled. She has been picking up on her training really well and already learned sit! She's also learning to not nip, she still does it on occasion but has learned that is not desirable behavior. She has also been around both large (Husky/Golden) and small (cavalier/Pomeranian) dogs and while she takes a bit more time to warm up to large dogs, does warm up to then within a day or two and becomes friends ready to chase and play.   Despite her bursts of energy, Petunia has a heart as big as her play drive. She loves to curl up with you for snuggles, often flopping herself across you like a small, warm, affectionate hurricane who just wants to be close and snuggle. She’s like a squirmy worm who’s trying really hard to be a lap dog and succeeding in the most endearing way.   Petunia is:    Crate trained (sleeps through the night like a champ and won’t potty in her crate)    Mostly house trained (occasional accidents, but only if you snooze on getting her outside fast enough)    Dog friendly (would thrive with a playful pup sibling)    Kid friendly (older kids, 7+, who can handle puppy antics)    A chewing connoisseur (especially loves stick-shaped toys)    A little dramatic (might whine briefly when you leave, but quiets down quickly, especially with a cozy blanket over her crate)     Petunia would do best with a family who can keep up with her energy, laugh through the chaos, and continue reinforcing her training. In return, you’ll get non-stop entertainment, endless affection, and the privilege of watching this bright, goofy girl blossom into her best self.   Think you can keep up with this terrier tornado?
