Pete’s story starts in a rough spot—he was found as a four-month-old puppy, barely clinging to life, after being left in a ditch. Parvo nearly took him out, but after two weeks of round-the-clock vet care and another two of careful foster attention, he pulled through. Once he got his strength back, Pete started to shine. He quickly latched onto learning and proved himself both energetic and sharp during a stint at board and train. His trainer couldn’t have been more impressed; Pete picks up new commands fast and genuinely wants to please. This red and chestnut boy is non-stop energy and needs dog friends that can keep up. He’s learned to play well with other dogs and does alright with cats, especially when he’s had a chance to burn off steam. He knows "sit," "stay," "down," and his recall is strong—smart and motivated. Pete loves children, but his exuberance means he’s better off with older kids or in homes where there are clear boundaries around little ones. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
