Story
Petrie AKA Peet is a busy, happy and athletic Yorkshire Terrier mix that came to Murci's Mission for additional rehabilitation after arriving to our rescue partners SCRAPS with trauma to the tail and back likely caused by a vehicle strike. Petrie has an estimated birthdate of 11/20/2020.
Petrie may only be about 10lbs, but he packs a punch! He is ready for action at all times and can certainly hang with the big dogs. He would love a family that is at least semi active or interested in doing some entry level sports with him like rally, scentwork, barnhunt, or agility. He came to Murci's Mission already fully loaded with an arsenal of sweet tricks, and we are certain he would love to put his energy and smarts to good use and learn even more cool skills.
It is worth noting that smart and capable dogs are a double edged sword, and Peet is no exception. He can be loud in his crate if he's bored and understimulated, and the less engaging his day has been, the saucier he can be with the cats and other dogs. He means no malice, but he does like to see if he can get a rise out of everybody. He would be fine with kids who could manage to show mutual respect and give him personal space as needed.
Peet is good in the car, and walks well on lead. He is also a reliable little hiker and can be off lead in remote areas. He sticks with his family, but he will approach other dogs and act tough if there's other dog traffic. He is good running along side the bike, and also great at riding in the backpack once he's tired. He is house trained but may pee inside near the door if he's been holding it for too long.
His tail is nearly fully recovered, and the pain and instability in his back resulting from his injuries has subsided, and he is ready to rock on into a forever family that is excited to work with a big personality in a tiny package.
Petrie comes neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed. His adoption fee is $200 and includes his leash, collar, ID tag, food sample, and medical records. To be considered to adopt, please begin by visiting www.murcismission.org and sending in an application.
