Pete Labrador Retriever & Pit Bull Terrier Mix Wyandotte, MI

Hi! Thank you for clicking on my photo to read about me. My birthday is October 31, 2023. Isn't it cool that I was born on Halloween? I'm sure glad I wasn't given a spooky name...I like being Pete. The vet says I'm a lab/pit mix and that when I'm all grown up, I should weigh 40-50 pounds. I have fur like a lab and even have cute, webbed toes. When I was just a tiny puppy, I was attacked by a big dog and hurt very badly. I had a tear in my trachea and my cheek bone was broken. I spent time at the ER vet before being transferred to a specialist to have surgery. My foster mommy took really good care of me and kept me calm while I healed. Do you know how hard it is for a puppy to stay calm??? I had to stay in a crate and wasn't allowed to play with the other dogs. It was torture! Those days are over now, and I can play with my big brothers all day long. Well, we play really hard and then nap for a few hours. There are more photos of me sleeping than of me getting into puppy trouble. My big brothers are 100lb labs. They've helped me forget all about that big dog that wasn't nice to me. When I was little, I liked to use them for pillows, but I can't get away with that anymore. There is a 4 year old who comes over every day and I love her! We play and then we cuddle. I don't have much experience with stuffed toys because one of the big dogs just destroys them. We have lots of chew bones, and I like to pick up sticks in the yard. I'm a good boy outside and don't get into nearly as much trouble as I did when I was little. When I have to go potty, I ring some bells hanging from the door. I sleep in bed with my foster mommy and I sleep through the night most nights. If I do have to go out, I go out, take care of business, then come right back in to bed. Mommy is retired and home most of the time, but sometimes I have to go in a crate when she isn't home. I don't like it very much at all and like to voice my opinion about it. I'm getting better about it, but it's something we're still working on. I would love a fenced yard so I can run around and burn off energy. Another dog to play with would be a definite bonus. I'm not sure a home with tiny kids is best because of all my energy and strength as I grow, but my foster mommy wants what is best for me and she will make sure any new home is the perfect fit for everyone. Please contact her right away if you'd like to talk about me.**All Shelter to Home animals are fully vetted per their age. We believe in pediatric spay and neuter.
