My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Peter is the whole package wrapped in a stunning brindle coat, a testament to the chaotic mix of bird dog, hound, and boxer that defines him. Sadly, Peter's short time on this earth has been marred by tragedy. Found alone, scared, and starving, he carries the scars of being forgotten by those he loved the most.

This brave boy has faced his share of challenges. Peter is terrified by cats, likely a result of past traumatic experiences. He also exhibits some food aggression, a coping mechanism developed from having to fight for scraps in the past. Despite his hardships, Peter remains people-friendly and eager to play.

As we approach the season of full bellies, good friends, and warm hugs, consider sharing that warmth with forgotten pups like Peter. Our animal control is reaching its limit, and we don't want any of these formerly neglected dogs spending the holidays cold and alone. They deserve a chance at a loving family, and Peter is no exception.

For Peter's well-being, his new family will play a crucial role. Microchipping, neutering, and ensuring he is up-to-date on vaccinations are essential steps to guarantee his health and safety. Please note that these additional measures are not included in the adoption fee and must be covered by the adopters upon pickup.

If you're ready to offer Peter the love, security, and fresh start he deserves, consider making him a part of your family. Let him experience the joy and warmth of a loving home, and make this holiday season one to remember.
