Alongside a snap that captured the actress and Petunia resting on a couch, she wrote: “Thank you @PawsForLifeK9 for initially saving her. We were so honored to love her in her final days.”
The Big Bang Theory actress and her husband adopted Petunia in August.
Before welcoming the dog into their home, Kaley campaigned for Petunia to find a new home as she had to undergo surgery.
After a couple of potential foster families fell through, she and Karl decided to adopt the rescue pup.

Kaley is an outspoken advocate for animal rights and has a number of pets, so it’s no surprise that she and Karl adopted Petunia when she was in need of a home.
Back in 2017, she spoke to The Los Angeles Times about how she became involved in animal rescue work.
She admitted that learning about the stereotype that pit bulls are dangerous made her want to stand up for animals, explaining: “I was like, ‘Oh, my God. I’m obsessed with this kind of dog.’
“I just found them to be so incredible. I realized what great dogs they were, and how horribly they were seen. And I just didn’t want that to happen anymore. So it became a passion.”
