Meet Petey!
Petey is a 3-year-old, 14-pound bundle of joy with a smile that can brighten anyone's day. This handsome little guy had a rough start after being found as an injured stray. Because of his injury, his tail had to be docked, but don't let that fool you. If Petey isn't sleeping, he's wagging what he has left with pure happiness!
Life as a beloved pet is still a new adventure for Petey, and he's embracing it one day at a time. He has a big appetite and not just for food, but for love and attention, too. He adores being close to his people and is happiest curled up in a lap or soaking up affection. He's eager to please, even-tempered, and has been described by the veterinary staff as a "super sweet, happy boy."
Like many former strays, Petey hasn't quite forgotten that food can be scarce. He's an enthusiastic little trash scavenger, so keeping tempting snacks and garbage out of reach will help set him up for success. With consistency and patience, he's continuing to learn what it means to be a cherished family member.
Petey can be a little protective when first meeting new people, but once he realizes you're a friend, his sweet and affectionate nature shines through. He rides well in the car, gets along with other dogs, is great with adults, and is always ready to be your loyal sidekick.
Petey has overcome a difficult beginning and is now looking for the happy ending he deserves. If you're searching for a devoted companion with a heart as big as his smile, Petey is ready to wag his way right into your life.
Petey is proof that sometimes the sweetest souls just need someone to give them a second chance.
