Meet Sweet Pete, affectionately known as Sweets, who will be turning 3 years old this coming March! This adorable 12-pound cuddle bug is on a heartfelt mission to find a home where he can finally feel safe enough to take a deep breath and let his true self shine. 💖 Sweet Pete didn’t arrive at Critter Cavalry Rescue due to a lack of love; rather, he needs a bit more security, consistency, and reassurance than he’s known in the past. What he truly desires is a peaceful, stable environment and a special person to call his own. Once he trusts you, Sweet Pete gives nothing but pure love from the depths of his tiny heart. This delightful boy lives for snuggles! After a good romp in the yard to unleash some of that playful energy, he loves nothing more than curling up close and enjoying quality time together. 🥰 He’s also a fantastic travel buddy, always ready for adventures, whether it’s a quick trip or a long journey. And who can resist a playful pup cup along the way? While Sweet Pete will alert bark when he senses unfamiliar sounds or sees strangers, he’s not one to yap constantly. He walks nicely on a leash and needs a little help with his recall skills, but he’s eager to learn! He has made plenty of furry friends at doggy daycare and enjoys playing with dogs who are about his size. However, he’s yet to meet any cats, so he’d do best in a cat-free home or with careful introductions. Because of his past experiences, Sweet Pete can feel anxious around men and small children. Therefore, a quieter, adult-only home would be perfect for him—especially with someone who can stay home often. With patience, routine, and lots of love, he will flourish and build the confidence he so desperately needs. When this little champ feels secure and happy, prepare for the joy to burst forth in the form of zoomies and impressive leaps that showcase his athletic charm! 🌟 Sweet Pete is up to date on vaccinations and bursting with hope for a fresh start. He’s simply looking for a gentle, understanding home, filled with the kind of steady love that will help him grow and thrive. In exchange, he promises boundless devotion, endless cuddles, and an unbreakable bond that makes every moment spent waiting absolutely worth it.
