Peter Benjamin "Pete"

? Meet Peter Benjamin – or as we like to call him, Sir Pete ?<br/>Dapper. Delightful. Slightly dramatic.<br/>Sir Pete 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 15-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.<br/>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 Pete: quirky, sweet, eager to please, and just a bit high-strung—in the most endearing way.<br/>Here's the royal rundown on Sir Pete:<br/>? Vitals & Vibes:<br/>• Young dog (based on his energy—he’s got pep!)<br/>• 15 lbs of wiry terrier charm<br/>• Neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped<br/>• Knows "sit" and "stay"<br/>• Walks great on leash, loves hikes and strolls<br/>• Potty trained-ish—does best with a belly band indoors (yes, he still marks)<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 dog<br/>• Afraid of big dogs and reacts with fear-based aggression<br/>• Tolerates cats if they mind their own business—otherwise, chase mode activated<br/>• Food aggressive with other animals and a bit with people—so no small children, please<br/>? His Favorite Things:<br/>• CAR RIDES! Seriously, his #1 joy in life<br/>• Running in the yard like a little maniac<br/>• Playing fetch (yes, he actually brings the ball back)<br/>• Toys, bones, and being the center of attention<br/>• Walks, hikes, and outdoor adventures<br/>Sir Pete isn’t perfect—but who is? He’s a quirky, high-energy, emotionally complex gentleman who just wants a home where he can be loved for exactly who he is. If you’ve got a heart for underdogs (and maybe a stash of car snacks), Sir Pete 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
