About Petey

Petey is a 10-year-old Rat Terrier whose previous owner was unable to dedicate enough time to care for him. Weighing in at 33 pounds, Petey is currently considered obese and could benefit from a healthy diet and regular exercise. He enjoys leisurely walks and is already housebroken, making him a great companion around the house. Petey is friendly with dogs and children, although he would need to be fed separately. Unfortunately, he does not get along with cats. He’s neutered, vaccinated, and ready for a fresh start in a loving home. If you have a space for a gentle soul like Petey, reach out to Alexandra at 330-261-3934. A $100 adoption donation covers his neutering, up-to-date vaccinations, and microchip. We strive to find the best match for our pets, and all applicants must be at least 21 years old. Let's make Petey's next chapter a happy one.
