Notes from the foster:

Petra is a sweet pup that would LOVE an adopter looking for a dog that cuddles!!! She may weigh 55 pounds, but she is pretty sure she is the perfect size for any lap! She is a really great house-trained dog that would love all the attention and would do best as the only pet. She likes the quiet and calm! She LOVES playing with stuffed squeaky toys, and just being a part of the family.

Petra gave birth to NINE puppies, and was a fantastic momma. We are hoping to see her go to a family of her own!!
