petey

Our perfect boy Petey is still on the hunt for his forever family... Petey is a total 10 out of 10!! This 5 year old gentleman is full of love with a distinct eye patch that gives main character energy. Petey LOVES his people - big and small. Even at 65lbs, he thinks he's a lap dog and loves to snuggle. He’ll climb on top of you if you try to ignore him. His favorite trick is to give you his paw for treats and he’s not shy about using it as his secret weapon to get all the snackys he wants!

He LOVES playing with balls, but fetch eludes him - he chases the balls, sometimes brings them back, and almost never drops it. He is also not the best scent dog. He once buried his tennis ball in the backyard, and he is still searching for it weeks later. Petey would make the best traveling companion. A potato at heart, he does not have big exercise needs. A little running around outside or a short walk, then he’s ready for a nap. He sleeps in his dog bed all night - after a few valiant but failed attempts at sleeping with his humans of course
He is a creature of comforts.

Transitions are super hard for Petey, which is not surprising given the loss he's experienced over the past year. He struggled with some separation anxiety when he first arrived, but now has free roam of the house with no issues when his fosters are gone. He despises the crate, and will hurt himself trying to break free. So his forever home must be one who will not crate him.

Petey deserves the very best. He’s been through so much heartbreak. He needs stability and consistency. His ideal home is one where his people are home more often than not, or can take him with them for errands, baseball games, school pick ups, etc. He would prefer a fenced yard to run and roam - and chase away pesky wildlife.
