Meet Petey Petey is a shelter favorite. Since arriving, this low-rider pup has charmed everyone with his happy personality and easy-going demeanor. He is the proverbial social butterfly and a never met a stranger kind of dog. We pulled Petey from a high-kill shelter. He had been found wandering and was picked up as a stray. Petey is a two-year old Bassett hound mix. He weighs just 40-45 lbs. He has a warm friendly face, a beautiful short-haired coat and a wide smile. He’s extremely gentle and affectionate. He loves pets and scratches and just absorbs all the love he can get. He enjoys his yard time and loves seeing the other dogs in the yards and does great with cats. He greets his doggie neighbors with a happy tail wag and sniffs. He’s super playful. Petey walks well on a leash. He rides well in a car and would love to go on adventures with his people. Petey seems to be housetrained already, which is a big bonus! Petey needs a fenced yard given that he was found wandering. We don’t want him to wander off and get lost into the system again. If you are looking for a great family dog, a happy boy and one who will bring so much love to your life, Petey may be for you. Petey will be able to go home in March after he’s neutered.
