About Petey

Petey is a charming young dog with a gentle spirit. His eagerness to please shines through in everything he does, whether it’s his excited wiggle when he meets new people or his calm demeanor on walks. Once a stray, he's come a long way from his rough beginnings, overcoming challenges like being underweight and facing health issues.

Petey craves companionship and thrives on love and attention. He enjoys belly rubs and can be quite vocal when he feels he’s being overlooked. While he enjoys being around other dogs, he’s selective and prefers to be the center of attention. Potty training is going well; he knows how to signal when he needs to go outside. With his playfulness and zest for life, Petey is ready to find a home where he can continue to flourish. Petey is located in Dallas, TX, and is waiting for someone special to adopt him. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
