A Note from the Foster: 🌸 Meet Petal! 🌸
Petal is a 5-year-old Yorkie with the softest little heart. She came to us timid and unsure, but every day she’s blossoming more and more. She is a little hesitant about attention at first, but once she feels safe, she loves being close.
She loves gentle head and ear scratches (bonus points if you sneak her a tiny bit of cheese 🧀) and enjoys exploring the world with her little sniffer. Around the house, Petal is a quiet companion who just wants to be near her person—whether you’re doing dishes, working on crafts, or relaxing with some TV.
She’s doing great with our kids and seems happily curious when meeting other dogs (haven't met any cats yet). She does like her space and may do better with older kids and dogs. She’s making steady progress with potty training (still occasional accidents) and is learning to walk on leash.
At night, she settles into her kennel after just a minute or two, but during the day she does bark when left alone. She would do best with a family who understands that patience, consistency, and reassurance will help her continue to blossom.
Petal is looking for a calm, loving home where she can keep building confidence and be someone’s loyal little shadow. 🐾💖
Adoption Fee: $560 + tax
Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
