About Petey

Petey is a delightful 4-year-old Boston Terrier, weighing around 20 lbs, who is on the lookout for a secure and loving forever home. Having come from a challenging past, he needs a family that can offer him understanding and patience. Rescued from an abusive situation, Petey has made great strides in his recovery, thanks to the care he receives. He enjoys the company of dogs, kids, and cats, showcasing his friendly nature. A critical consideration for Petey's future family is his fear of being crated. He tends to injure himself in an attempt to escape, so a traditional crate isn’t safe for him. Instead, he thrives when left uncrated in a safe environment. Petey is seeking someone to help him build trust and feel secure. He didn’t quite mesh in a previous foster-to-adopt situation, but we’re confident that the right family is still out there. Adopting Petey means committing to his well-being, which includes regular exercise, training, and socialization. Remember, a tired dog is a happy dog! If you're ready to provide the love and care he truly deserves, Petey is waiting for you to click apply and begin this journey together!
