About Prepete

Meet Prepete, a charming lab/hound mix who's looking for a forever home where he can truly thrive. This 3-year-old came to us from a rural shelter, where he was found as a stray alongside his brothers, Pete and Repeat. They arrived malnourished and terrified, but with patience and love, Prepete's personality is beginning to emerge. Though he is the most fearful of the trio, he’s dog-friendly and motivated by food, making him highly trainable. With a nurturing adopter, he could learn to shine and embrace all the joys that life has to offer. Prepete deserves someone who can show him just how wonderful life can be. Could that someone be you?
