Shelter Sunday: Canine Castaways / Arcadia, FL

Meet Petra!  Petra is currently living with Canine Castaways in Arcadia, FL.  I was fascinated by this dog because of her parentage.  Dachshund & Black Lab…really?  I’m just trying to imagine the physics of her conception.  But I digress.  Here’s what Canine Castaway’s website has to say about this beauty.

Do you love big dogs but only have room for a small dog? If so, I’m your girl!! Everyone that meets me thinks that I look like a minature black lab but I am really a dachshund mix. I am 6 years olds and weigh 34 pounds but I am a little overweight.

I am sweet as sugar but shy with strangers. My favorite things are belly rubs and car rides. I enjoy playing with other dogs and have lived with cats. I am housetrained, playful and loving. I’d love to have a family with a fenced yard.

MEDICAL INFO:
