Description:
Earning 11-month-old Petunia’s trust takes time and patience. This shy 26-pound black beauty is slowly adjusting to the safety of her foster home and remains a bit reserved as she gets used to her new surroundings. Naturally sweet, Petunia has begun to enjoy cuddling with her foster dad and is becoming more comfortable with being picked up, finding it more pleasurable each day. Her favorite activity, though, is playing with her doggy foster siblings of various sizes and ages, especially enjoying backyard playtime with one in particular. Although she likes going for walks, Petunia is still gaining confidence with her harness and leash. She pays little attention to the resident cats and has a soft spot for dog biscuits. While she hasn’t yet learned any commands, she’s motivated by food and affection, is crated only for mealtime, and is working hard on her house-training. To truly help Petunia blossom, she needs a nurturing home with patient adopters and older children who can help build her confidence, continue her socialization, and guide her through training, including learning commands. With the right care, Petunia is sure to thrive and live her best life. Animal Rescue of the Rockies believes every pet should find a wonderful and caring home. To ensure each pet finds the best possible home, we ask you fill out our adoption application so we can learn more about you and your household. We review each application in the order submitted and will contact you within 48 hours (please check your spam folder for our emails). If you and the dog are a good match then we'll connect you with our dog's foster parents to chat more in-depth. If both you and the foster agree that the dog is a good fit then a meet and greet is scheduled. We require applicants' dogs to meet ours to ensure they get along. We'll ask you to read and sign our adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee to complete the adoption when it comes time. Our adoption fees help cover the costs of saving more lives! A home visit will be scheduled within one week of your new pet going home with you. The adoption fee for this pet is $425. Our adoption fee covers the following: Spay/neuter Microchip DAPP vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog. Rabies vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog. Adopters shall be responsible for all vaccinations after adoption. Please fill out an adoption application by clicking here . Please give us 48 hours to review your application and respond to you. (Remember to check your spam folder for our emails!) We want our pets to go to a lifelong new home, so thank you for your patience during the adoption process! Please email [email protected] for more information, as we can't accept calls.PLEASE NOTE: The breed listed is the information we've received from the shelter. Shelters usually guess at the breed, so there is no guarantee, as we don't DNA test our foster pets. Here is some interesting info on breed identification: https://arrcolorado.org/category/puppy-dog-tips/ Our adoption process is: 1. Fill out our Adoption Application online. We'll contact you within 48 hours to answer any questions you may have about the pet. 2. If the pet looks like a great match, we'll schedule a meet and greet and ask you to fill out our online Adoption Agreement if you'd like to proceed with adopting. Once you've completed the Adoption Agreement and pay the pet's Adoption Fee, you can arrange to pick up your new furry family member!
