Animal Shelter Society Pet of the Week: Meet Petunia! - WHIZ

This week, the Animal Shelter Society Inc. in Zanesville, Ohio, has chosen Petunia, a 2-year-old Plott Hound and Boxer mix, as their Pet of the Week. Petunia is spayed and eager to find a loving home. She is described as affectionate, loyal, and good with most dogs, though she can be selective around other dogs. Petunia is not compatible with cats but would thrive in a variety of home environments, including those with small children or older adults, as long as she has plenty of human companionship. April Gibson, the executive director, emphasizes that Petunia needs a home where she can be around people often, as she does not do well with long periods of solitude.

The shelter is also promoting a cat adoption special, where cats can be adopted for $17.76 until the end of August 1. Additionally, the shelter is partnering with the local Applebee's for a fundraiser on August 5, where a portion of the proceeds will go to support the shelter's animals.

For those interested in adopting Petunia or learning more about the shelter's activities, including upcoming fundraisers, the Animal Shelter Society's website is the place to visit. This heartwarming story highlights the shelter's dedication to finding loving homes for pets and the community support that helps them continue their important work.
