About Petey

Meet Petey! Petey is a charming 3-year-old Lab/Heeler mix who has just arrived in New Jersey and is eager to find a family to love him. He’s fantastic with children and truly enjoys spending time with them. At 55 pounds, Petey strikes a wonderful balance between being playful and affectionate. He enjoys his playtime but is equally content to settle down for some cuddle time with his humans. His foster family has remarked that he’s one of the calmest dogs they’ve encountered. He walks well on a leash, is quiet, and gets along great with other dogs. One of Petey’s standout features is his exceptional jumping ability. When excitement hits, he showcases this talent by bouncing straight up and down—like he’s aiming for the Canine Olympics. It’s an entertaining quirk that’s sure to bring smiles. However, Petey does need a cat-free home, as he does not get along with them. He’s already neutered, vaccinated, and ready to leave his shelter days behind him. If you’re in search of a loving companion who’s ready for both adventure and cozy evenings, Petey could be the right match for you! Could you be the forever family Petey is looking for? Don't wait!
