About Petey

Meet Petey! This charming boy with a sweet, sad face is sure to win you over with his loving nature. At about 20-25 lbs and approximately 7 months old, he won't grow much larger. Petey resembles a Chiweenie and is fantastic with other dogs, making him an ideal candidate for a home where he can learn the ropes of being a family dog alongside a canine companion. Though he can be a bit shy, Petey warms up quickly—often in just a day. He’s new to foster care and is picking up on potty and crate training, having already mastered the dog door. Mellow by nature, we joke that he has an old soul; he enjoys hanging out with his people once settled but also loves to romp around playfully with other dogs.
