About Peter

Meet Peter! He’s a professional napper, a belly-rub enthusiast, and an all-around good boy. At 9 years old, this Basset mix has transitioned from his tough days living on the streets of South Texas to enjoying life's cozy comforts: soft beds, sunny spots, short walks, and plenty of love. Peter adores his humans and keeps a watchful eye as he follows them around, never missing an opportunity for a belly rub. He’s incredibly friendly with people and enjoys the company of other dogs, proving that age is just a number when it comes to making furry friends. He also gets along well with most cats. A perfect day for Peter includes a brief stroll, lounging in the sun, a good nap (or three), and lots of cuddles with his favorite person. After surviving on his own for so long, he deserves a home where he can feel safe, spoiled, and loved. If you’re looking for a laid-back companion and a floppy-eared shadow who thinks you're the best, Peter might just be your guy! Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let’s get started.
