This is Petunia: She Needs a Home

Want to give a pet a loving home? Here's how.

Each weekend, Patch will present a cat and a dog available for adoption through the Animal Care League in Oak Park.

Cats get Saturdays, dogs are on Sundays.

Hi. My name is Petunia. I'm a one-year-old pit bull. I was so surprised to find myself abandoned by my owner, tied up to a fence in Oak Park. In fact, I was still waiting patiently for my owner to come back when a police officer came, untied me, and brought me to the Animal Care League.

I was scared at first, but then I realized the folks at Animal Care League were going to take good care of me. I am a young, athletic dog who has a soft and cuddly side as well. I'm looking for someone who will take me on runs and to an obedience class or two. I would love to become a Canine Good Citizen to show the world just how great pit bulls can be.

Meet Petunia and other pets at the ALC's office, 1011 Garfield St. For hours, call 708-848-8155.
