One rescue took 2 siblings, and we took Baby Bluebell and Petunia in. Additional info: When Petunia looks up at you with those icy, blue eyes, your heart will melt. She is a little more timid than her brave, adventurous sister. It takes her a little more time to get the courage to meet new pups and try new things. She does run and play very well with the pups in daycare. It might be coincidence, but when we are taking pictures or giving treats, we ask her to “sit pretty” and she does. She will definitely take time out from her playtime to snuggle. She enjoys snuggling with her humans.
