About Petey

Petey’s got piercing blue eyes like a Husky, but don’t expect that breed’s high-strung energy from him. Life hasn’t been easy for Petey so far—he was first found tied up near a reservoir, and after a rough start in an unsupervised backyard, ended up running loose on busy streets. Now safe, he’s looking for someone who will treat him like a true companion, keeping a close eye on him and giving him the care he’s missed out on. Petey would do best with an owner who genuinely values a dog’s company and is ready to make him feel secure for good. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
