About Petey

Petey found his way to us after a tough situation where he nipped at a young child who was pushing him too much. It's important to note that Petey is not at fault; he’s an extremely affectionate dog who adores people and gets along well with other dogs. While we don't view him as unfriendly towards children, he would thrive better with older kids who understand his boundaries. He’s a playful guy, loves his car rides, and lets out the cutest howls when it’s time for a walk. He has a unique color pattern that makes him stand out, and while he may look like a small Dalmatian, his charm is larger than life. If you're looking for a loyal and loving companion, Petey could be your new best friend. Currently being fostered in Phelan, CA. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
