My story

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

Name: Petey
Age: 3 1/2 years
Breed: Pit Mix

Background: Petey is a lovable and affectionate sweetheart who joined the shelter in October. He was found wandering around and what appeared to be irritation from a tight or embedded collar. Despite this, he remains a happy-go-lucky guy ready to bring joy to a forever family.

Personality: Petey is a huge love bug who adores snuggling with his humans. He's happiest when resting his head in the crook of your arm or lounging by your side. With a wagging tail and friendly demeanor, Petey is always ready to shower his family with love and affection. He's described as friendly, goofy, and happy-go-lucky, making him an ideal family dog who particularly loves kids.

Skills and Behavior: Petey is well-behaved and a quick learner, knowing commands like "no" and "drop it." He's reported to sleep through the night and hold his pee until it's time to go outside. While he initially pulled on the leash during walks, he quickly calmed down, showcasing his intelligence and adaptability. Petey rarely barks and enjoys lounging with his people, often sleeping on his back and snoring like a little piggy.

Interactions with Other Animals: Although not formally dog or cat tested, Petey displays positive body language with other dogs at the shelter. He's friendly towards them, often trying to play and saying hi through their kennel fronts. He hasn't shown any prey drive or aggression towards smaller animals or critters.

Health: Petey underwent surgery to remove a Mast Cell Tumor, and while a small bump has reappeared, it's easily treatable with surgery. His adoption fee is waived due to this and surgery is not required for adoption.

Final Thoughts: Petey is a wonderful companion who is ready to bring love and laughter to his forever family. Despite his health challenges, he remains a happy and affectionate dog who deserves a loving home. If you're ready to welcome Petey into your heart and home, consider visiting the shelter to meet this delightful lapdog at heart.
