About Petrie

Petrie is an adorable baby boy who, along with his siblings, was born in rescue after their mother was saved from a shelter in Southern California. These playful puppies have been well-socialized and loved since day one. They're beginning to explore their world and will require potty training, leash training, and crate training, just like any young puppy. With a mom who weighs about 11 lbs, Petrie is expected to reach a similar size as he matures. He will have to stay with his littermates until the weekend of June 20th. Currently, he cannot be altered due to his age, but the cost for spaying/neutering will be covered by our partnered clinics when he's ready. As he will need continued vet care, expect him to stay close to the capital region. The adoption fee for Petrie is $650, plus a $100 spay/neuter deposit that will be returned when it’s completed. He’s a sociable little guy, getting along well with both cats and dogs as well as children. Rescue animals deserve a second chance; make sure to consider this little one!
