Petunia - Doberman Pinscher and Belgian Shepherd Malinois Dog for Adoption in Albany, New York

Meet Petunia!

Petunia will be the first girl to run up to you and sit in your lap when you enter a room. She is also a smart girl and is not afraid to pull out all the stops to get to what she wants. This means that she will climb an x-pen if it means she will get to have some cuddles!

Petunia is working on her potty training. She is also currently comfortable sleeping in a crate, but will likely need time to adjust as she is currently sleeping with her brothers.

Petunia is a SMART and sweet girl who will be very energetic and eager to please when she is older. Petunia would do well with another resident dog. She will do best with a dedicated family who is ready to stay active with her!
