Approximate Age: 3 years Approximate Weight: 46 lbs Meet Petey, your new best friend and full-time shadow Certified Cuddler - This boy is a BIG snuggler and will happily be your mini shadow all day and night. Wherever you go, he goes! Crate Pro - Crates well during the day and overnight. He just prefers not to miss out on the action, so keeping his crate nearby (like in your room) makes him happiest. Walk Enthusiast - The MOST excited foster when it's leash time! He loves his walks and gets adorably riled up when he sees that leash. He can pull and may try to chase squirrels or small dogs, so he'll need a confident handler to keep him focused. Toy? What Toy? - Not really into toys (at least not right now). He'd rather spend his time with his people. Protective but Teachable - He may give a little growl when new people come over, but he stops quickly and comes in for pets-especially if he sees his foster buddy getting attention! He responds well to corrections and looks to his humans for guidance. If you're looking for a loyal, affectionate sidekick who wants to be involved in every part of your day, this sweet shadow might just be your guy. Put in an application and come meet me soon. You can still come adopt me or even join our foster program to help the humans learn all the awesome things about new dogs like me! Learn more on our website!
