My story

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

Pete`s journey has been nothing but inspirational. Pete first arrived at our shelter October 1st, he was a shell of a dog shut down, and terrified. For days, he sat isolated avoiding human interaction not sure who to trust. But behind those frightened eyes we knew there was a heart waiting to be healed.

Our staff and volunteers didn`t give up on Pete. We spent hours sitting with him, patiently letting him learn to trust. Slowly with kindess and patience, Pete began to soften.

As time passed Pete went to a one week stay foster home where he blossomed even more. He was wonderful with the other dogs and even the cat in the home. In this quiet environment, he became much more relaxed and affectionate. At the shelter Pete enjoys his daily walks, his zoomies when he steps outside his kennel and the gentle affection he gets from staff and volunteers.

Pete is now 3 years old and weighs 21 pounds. His transformation is is a reminder that with patience, kindness and a little bit of time, even the most frightened souls can find their way. Pete is ready for his next adventure of finding his forever family.
