About Petey

Petey has a regal air about him that can't be missed. At 12 years old, he zips around the house, surveying every soft surface—dog beds, towels, anything cushy you forget to put away. His days as an overlooked senior are long past; now, he rules the house like a true prince. Petey won’t let anything slip by. His bark may sound fierce, but it's more cute than anything, and he’s always ready to alert you to guests. Back scratches and gentle walks make him happiest. He gets along well with other dogs, especially those who are small or medium, but he's also fine on his own if it comes to that. You’ll often catch him basking in the sun or gnawing on a favorite bone. Still, his favorite pastime is taking it easy, drifting between naps and snacks. Petey is looking for a soft place to land and a loyal friend to call his own. Click apply to start the adoption process.
