About Pete

Pete is a smart, playful, and goofy pup ready to find his forever home. He’s house and crate trained and even knows how to use the doggie door. After running zoomies in the backyard, he looks forward to snuggling on the couch by the fire with his foster-human. At around eight months old and a boxer mix, he currently weighs 50 lbs and embodies the lovable traits of his breed. While Pete is sweet, he can be a bit hesitant around strangers. He gets along well with children, but prefers to have his personal space respected. He’s starting doggie daycare this week and walks well on a leash, although he can startle occasionally. An understanding owner who can help him build confidence is ideal. The adoption fee for Pete is $235, which covers neutering, vaccinations, deworming, microchip, initial food supply, and some personal items like a bed and toys. He is currently fostered in Great Falls, MT, but can be transported throughout the state at no extra cost. Think you could be the right match for him? Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
