Meet Pete, also known as Stinky Pete! This lovable 3-year-old Pit Bull mix has a unique story — he recently had a rather unfortunate encounter with a skunk while wandering as a stray. Despite his less-than-pleasant scent, which he’s still trying to shake off, he’s quickly become a staff favorite at the shelter because of his sweet nature. Pete weighs 65 pounds and has a short coat that, admittedly, could use a bit of pampering once he's cleaned up. His friendly personality shines through, making him a joy to be around. He enjoys the company of other dogs, requiring a meet and greet to ensure compatibility. While we’re still learning about his relationship with cats, he seems open to the idea with proper introductions.

This handsome boy desires a fresh start in a loving home where he can share his endless affection. Don't miss the chance to meet this happy-go-lucky companion who is sure to bring joy into your life.
