Peter Benjamin "Pete"

Meet Peter!<br/>A dapper, delightful, slightly dramatic traveling man.<br/>Peter has the look of a distinguished gentleman and the heart of a chaotic little court<br/>jester.

So, we moved him to a loving foster home, and little by little, we started<br/>to see the real Peter: quirky, sweet, eager to please, and just a bit high-strung—in the<br/>most endearing way.<br/>Here&#39;s the rundown on Peter:<br/><br/>Vitals &amp; Vibes:<br/> About 5 years old<br/> 19 lbs. of wiry terrier charm<br/> Neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped<br/> Knows &quot;sit&quot; and &quot;stay&quot;<br/> Walks great on leash, loves hikes and strolls<br/> Potty trained<br/>His Favorite Things:<br/> CAR RIDES! Seriously, his #1 joy in life<br/> Walks, hikes, and outdoor adventures<br/> Playing lazy fetch<br/> Toys, bones, and being the center of attention<br/> Putting his head on your shoulder and cuddling<br/>Social Scene:<br/> Great with new people, men, and respectful kids<br/> Prefers smaller female dogs with slow intros (his play style is 100% “bitey-face”)<br/> Would thrive either with a playful, small female companion or as a spoiled only<br/>dog<br/> Afraid of big dogs. We do not know his story, but he had some trauma in his past<br/>life<br/> Tolerates cats if they mind their own business—otherwise, chase mode activated<br/> We are working with him on resource guarding (with food and his bed), so no<br/>small children, please<br/><br/>Peter isn’t perfect—but who is? He’s a quirky, emotionally complex gentleman who just<br/>wants a home where he can be loved for exactly who he is. If you’ve got a heart for<br/>underdogs (and a stash of car snacks), Peter might just be your new co-pilot.<br/><br/>****PLEASE READ CAREFULLY ****QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF BEFORE ADOPTING ANY PET: Adoption should NEVER be an impulsive decision, it must be thought out carefully. Adopting a pet is a 15 to 20+ year commitment. Can we afford to care properly for our new family member? If we're renting do they allow pets here? Is there a pet deposit? Can we afford the pet deposit? What if we get sick, what if our pet becomes ill and has to see a veterinarian? Pets requires routine check-ups, annual vaccines, quality food, many necessities and toys, can we afford this? These are all questions a responsible pet owner must ask themselves. If you can make this type of commitment, please take a moment to email us for an application: friendsofthetas@gmail.com

Meet Peter!
A dapper, delightful, slightly dramatic traveling man.
Peter has the look of a distinguished gentleman and the heart of a chaotic little court
jester. We’re scratching our heads wondering why this adorable 19-pound terrier mix
hasn’t been snatched up—he’s got a curly Shiba-style tail, a face that begs for kisses,
and enough personality to star in his own sitcom.
He was struggling at the shelter, where all the noise and chaos sent his nervous system
into overdrive. So, we moved him to a loving foster home, and little by little, we started
to see the real Peter: quirky, sweet, eager to please, and just a bit high-strung—in the
most endearing way.
Here's the rundown on Peter:

Vitals & Vibes:
 About 5 years old
 19 lbs. of wiry terrier charm
 Neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped
 Knows "sit" and "stay"
 Walks great on leash, loves hikes and strolls
 Potty trained
His Favorite Things:
 CAR RIDES! Serio
