Calling all dog lovers!

“Petunia” needs a loving home. Can you make room in your heart for her?

The DeKalb Animal Shelter has been Petunia’s home since October. In fact she has been there longer than any other pet lately. It’s time she had a forever home of her own. Petunia is again the WJLE/DeKalb Animal Shelter featured “Pet of the Week”

DeKalb Animal Shelter Director Megan Moore and employee Emmaly Bennett with Petunia from dwayne page on Vimeo.

“Petunia is our senior shelter resident. She is 8 years old and is spayed and up to date on all her vaccinations. Petunia loves people especially kids and enjoys a couch or lap to sit on. She does prefer to be the only pet in the household because she is very stingy with her love and affection,” said Shelter employee Emmaly Bennett.

“Because she has been here so long we have had a donor sponsor Petunia so her adoption fee is only $50 and it covers everything including the costs of her spay and vaccinations so she is ready to go home with you,” added Shelter director Megan Moore.

If you would like to meet “Petunia” put in an application on the shelter’s website //www.dekalbanimalcoalition.org/ and you will be called to set up an appointment. For more information call 615-597-3647 or send a message on facebook or email.
