Hi, my name is Petunia! I haven't been here long, so I'm still learning a lot about what it means to be in the shelter, like greeting people nicely and walking on a leash. But, I do know I love people! I am super social, affectionate, and friendly. I love to see new people and get the excited wiggles when I get to say hi! I have not made friends wih any other doggies here yet, but I don't seem to mind them.
