Hi… my name is Peta 💔 I don’t really know where to start, but I’ve been waiting a long time for someone to hear me. For most of my life, I didn’t know what it felt like to be loved. I lived outside on a chain with other dogs, no soft bed, no kind hands… just surviving. I was used to have puppies over and over, but no one ever made me feel like I mattered. Then one day, everything almost ended. I was in a shelter, scared and alone, and I was so close to not making it out. But someone saw me… and saved me. I thought that meant my life was finally going to begin. But I’m still waiting. It’s been over a year now, watching other dogs find their families while I stay behind. I don’t understand why no one picks me. I promise I’m trying so hard to be the best girl. Because the truth is… I love people. More than anything. I will snuggle right up next to you like I’ve known you forever. I’ll cover you in kisses if you let me. And belly rubs? Oh my goodness… those are my favorite thing in the whole world. I’ll roll over and wiggle just to make you smile. I’m a little goofy like that. I do really well with bigger kids, and I would love a family to laugh and play with. I’d do best as your one and only dog—but I promise, I have more than enough love, silliness, and loyalty to fill your whole heart all by myself. I know I didn’t have the best beginning… but I’m ready for my happy ending. I’m not broken. I’m just waiting. Waiting for someone to see me… to choose me… to give me the chance I’ve never had. Could that someone be you? 🐾 I am two and a half years old, vetted, spayed, and heartworm negative. I’m being fostered in Clayton, NC but can be transported to other locations. Please note, there may be a transport fee if volunteer transport cannot be found.
