Got Treats? This Fall River Dog Is The Perfect Companion [WET NOSE WEDNESDAY]

Happy Wet Nose Wednesday! Let's talk animals.

Animals bring so much joy to a home and if you are looking to adding a pet to your family, please consider adoption.

Every week, we give the spotlight to one animal that is up for adoption on the SouthCoast in hopes of finding the perfect forever home.

This week, a sweet little pup is waiting for head pats in Fall River.

Meet Petunia. Petunia is a 3-year-old, 14-pound brussels griffon mix residing at Forever Paws Animal Shelter in Fall River.

She is the closest thing to an actual gremlin, but she falls in love pretty easily.

Petunia is the perfect dog for a single person or older couple looking for a companion.

"She walks great on a leash and hardly pulls," said the shelter. "She's a curious little girl and will start any meeting by sniffing and investigating the surroundings."

Head pats are always welcomed, but Petunia needs to warm up before she allows belly rubs.

With some time (and treats), she comes around pretty quickly.

"We're looking for an adult only home where Petunia can be the center of attention and the princess that she deserves to be," said the shelter. "If you want a goofy, scruffy little gremlin to share your space and take on some bouncy walks, Petunia is your girl."
