Petey is pretty much perfection. A total 10 out of 10. This 5 year old gentleman is full of love. His eye patch is giving main character energy. He is truly the absolute sweetest there is! Petey LOVES his people - big and small. Even at 65lbs, he thinks he's a lap dog and loves to snuggle. He’ll climb on top of you if you try to ignore him. His favorite trick is to give you his paw for treats and he’s not shy about using it as his secret weapon to get what he wants. He LOVES playing with balls, but fetch eludes him - he chases the balls, will sometimes bring them back, and almost never drops it. He is also probably not the best scent dog. He once buried his tennis ball in the backyard, and he is still searching for weeks later lol! Petey would make the best traveling companion as his Roman empire are car rides - bonus points for an open window. He’s really a couch potato at heart and he does not have big exercise needs. He needs a little running around outside or a short walk then he’s ready for a nap. He sleeps in his dog bed all night - after a few valiant but failed attempts at sleeping with his humans of course lol! He is a creature of comforts. Transitions are hard for Petey, which is not surprising given the loss he's experienced over the past year. He struggled with some separation anxiety when he first arrived, but he now has free roam of the house when his people are gone and does great. He absolutely despises the crate, and will hurt himself trying to break free. So his forever home must be one who will not crate him. Petey deserves the very best. He’s been through so much heartbreak and will need a stable home with consistency. His ideal home is one where his people are home more often than not. Or can take him with them for errands, baseball games, school pick ups etc. He would prefer a fenced yard to run and roam - and chase away pesky wildlife. He is still learning all the cool stuff this world has to offer and is loving the journey. If you live in DC/MD/NoVa and are looking for a forever companion, forever love, forever best friend, forever partner in crime, Petey is your guy!
