🐾 Looking for a Laundry Room Assistant? Petra wants to apply!

Whether it’s making sure the darks and whites stay separated, the detergent is measured just right, or the blankets are properly folded — Petra is happy to help. 🐶

In fact, when shelter life feels a little overwhelming, the laundry room is one place where she feels safest, and where her sweet personality really shines. ❤️

But after nearly 2 years at the shelter, Petra is ready for a new laundry room — this time in her forever home. ❤️

This very shy 4½-year-old Anatolian Shepherd mix (40 lbs) is house-trained and sweet. She'll need a quiet home with no young children and time to adjust, but once she trusts you, she'll reward you with loyalty, love, and even hugs. 🥰
*Seen here with her favorite staff member - Sydney!

✅ Spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready to go home. Come meet her!
