petey wheatie

Location: Mendota Heights, MN

Hello! I’m Petey Wheatie and I am an extra special girl looking for an extra special forever home.

In late September, I had a vet appointment and found that my glaucoma was so severe, and causing me so much pain, that both my eyes needed to be removed. I also had much needed dental work done to remove several infected teeth. I am no longer in pain, but it’s been quite an adjustment losing my sight.

While I couldn’t see well before, the complete loss of my vision has been a big adjustment. I am still a very happy girl who loves people and I especially love the quiet safety of my foster mom’s lap while she works.

While I currently live with dogs and a cat, I am easily startled by movement and noise, and can be territorial with my favorite spots, and would do best as an only dog/animal in a home without children and or a lot activity.

True to my breed, I am a vocal girl and like to communicate when I am excited, wanting attention, lonely, or feeling protective.

I much prefer to be with people and would be a great companion for a retired person or a home where my parent/s are home more than away.

I am reliably house trained, love treats, cuddling, burrowing under covers, am a very good sleeper, and am very excited by the short walks I’ve been able to take since my recovery.

Because I’m such a special girl, I will need a special home where my parent(s) are patient, willing to help me navigate my world, and are willing to make my immediate environment safe and accessible for me. If that sounds like you, apply today!

The best way to show interest in an animal is to submit an adoption application by visiting our website (www.rescuenetworkmn.org).

Adoption fee includes spay/neuter, all age-appropriate vaccinations (distemper, rabies, and bordetella), heartworm and flea/tick preventatives, heartworm test (dogs over 9 months), FIV/FeLV test (cats - one in the litter), dewormed, and microchip implant (including registration).

Rescue Network is strictly foster based which means all adoptable animals are in a home and there cannot be a meet until an application is submitted and approved. We have no way of knowing the breeds in the animals. All breeds listed are best guess.
