My story

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

Meet Pete!

Pete is an 8-9 month-old Red Heeler weighing about 30 pounds. This sweet and affectionate pup has had quite the journey, traveling from Texas through multiple shelters before arriving in Illinois. Despite his past, Pete is a well-socialized, loving boy who thrives in the company of others.

What makes Pete special?

Social Butterfly: Pete adores other dogs, loves friendly humans, and even gets along with confident cats.

Faithful Follower: He shadows the dog in his foster home, making him a great companion for a household with another pup.

Active & Affectionate: Pete has the playful energy typical of his breed, balanced with a cuddly, affectionate side.

House-Trained & Leash-Ready: He’s house-trained, great on a leash, and sticks close to his buddy when running free.

What Pete needs:
Pete is still a puppy and can feel insecure when left alone. He would thrive in a home with:
Another dog to keep him company.
Older kids to play with.

Pete is the perfect dog for an active family, someone with another dog, or anyone looking for a loyal and loving companion. If you're ready to welcome Pete into your life, he’s ready to bring his energy, cuddles, and devotion to your home!
