My name is
Skinny Pete!

Hi, I'm Skinny Pete,

About me:
I am still under weight but have been gaining while in care. I am taller than I look in my pictures, I'm still small, but I'm not a toy size if that's what you are looking for.
I have a fondness for squeaky toys.
I have been very friendly with everyone I meet, I just want to be cuddled and I give the best hugs.
I do have a loud bark for my size when I get excited.
Going for walks and car rides suits me fine.
I like to run really fast when I get a chance to be off leash. My recall is getting better because I am food motivated, as long as you have a treat for me when you whistle I currently keep running back to you.
I am rather low to medium energy. I like to play but settle down and relax on your lap or a near by dog bed if you are busy.

Likes: I love playing fetch, so far,I even bring it back and drop it for another throw.

Dislikes: Sharing bones.

Kennel trained: Unknown, I am such a good boy when left out that my foster family hasn't tried the kennel.

Special needs: I am a poodle mix and will need regular brushing and grooming to keep my skin and coat healthy and free from getting matted.

House trained: Yes

Dogs: Yes, I am in care with dogs of various sizes and try really hard to get them to like me.
I am not the aggressor but will stick up for myself if provoked. If they try to steal my chew things, I will guard it. I bark at them to play with me if they are ignoring me and poke them with my nose for them to chase me. If this will irritate your dog , I'm probably not the best fit.

Cats: I barked at the last cat I met when it hissed at me but I didn't chase it. I was still curious however, so a cat that is dog savvy would be best. I may start chasing once I become comfortable if the cat were to run from me.

Children: Yes
