About Petey Courtesy Listing

Petey Courtesy Listing is a charming 9-year-old Chihuahua mix looking to find a new home. Weighing around 13 lbs, he’s in good shape and currently enjoys Purina Pro Plan mixed with a bit of Blue dog food for variety. Petey is up to date on his vaccinations and is scheduled for neutering and dental care on November 9. He’s friendly with people and his female dog companion but may need a proper introduction to potential siblings since he can be a bit feisty with male dogs.

His wellness check showed that he is in great health, and he will benefit from Movoflex for his bone health, which can be purchased online. Petey’s house-training is a bit of a question mark, but he can be corrected easily. He’s ready to transition into a cozy home before the weather changes.
