petunia in tn - a chill old lady

Petunia is a sweet and easygoing Great Pyrenees who is looking for her forever family! Petunia was picked up as a stray in Tennessee and was sadly at imminent risk of euthanasia at the shelter before NGPR stepped in to give her a second chance. Now she's ready to show everyone what a wonderful girl she truly is. Petunia is best described as a chill old lady, and that's exactly the vibe she brings to a home. She has a low activity level and doesn't seem to have a strong preference for being inside or outside, she's just happy to be wherever her people are. One of her favorite things in the world is being brushed, and she loves the low buzz of the TV. Not much seems to bother Petunia, and she's not a digger, so any gardens in her future are perfectly safe. She is housebroken, crate trained, and only needs a 4-foot fence, as she has no interest in escaping. Petunia barks less than the average Pyr and has no known behavior issues. She does well living in a pack with other dogs and would also be perfectly content as an only dog. At home with indoor cats, she's curious about them but stays quiet and doesn't chase, a respectful roommate through and through. She hasn't had exposure to kids, but her personality suggests she'd do just fine with calmer children. Meeting new people takes her some time, as she's a bit nervous around new faces and is slow to warm up, so a little patience goes a long way with this girl. The ideal home for Petunia is a quiet one with lots of attention to give her. If you're looking for a mellow, low-maintenance companion who just wants a peaceful life and someone to love on her, consider Petunia!
