About Petey

Petey is a giant goofball with no idea he weighs nearly 90 pounds. He’s silly and always up for any outdoor adventure, but once home, he flips the switch to couch potato mode and prefers a calm, quiet pace. Fetch is his favorite game—he’ll bring the toys back and even share them, believe it or not. Treats are taken gently, and he never says no to a good belly rub. While Petey loves meeting adults, he needs an adult-only home. Kids aren’t his thing, and he shouldn’t live with cats—he simply can’t resist the temptation to chase. He’s not interested in sharing space with other dogs, either, and never cared for lessons in sharing. What he does excel at: being a devoted companion, making you laugh, and keeping the sofa nice and warm. If a big, funny, dog for an adult home is what you want, Petey checks the boxes and then some.
