About Petey

Petey is a pint-sized bundle of energy with a huge personality. This little guy is a pug and Dachshund mix who lives for playtime—if you have toys, he'll make sure none are left unchased or unchewed. He’s social, always eager to greet new friends, and naturally upbeat: you'll see that bounce in his step every time you look his way. Petey does get excited, sometimes letting out a happy bark or two, but that’s just his joy sneaking out. Once he’s exhausted himself, he’s perfectly content soaking up attention and hanging out wherever the action is. He’s working on his potty training; consistency and patience will get you both there. Petey handles change well, and if you’re outside Texas, he can catch a ride to the Midwest, East Coast, or some West Coast cities—he just can’t be transported to Rhode Island or Massachusetts.
