Petey

If happiness had four legs and a wagging tail, it would probably look a lot like Petey.<br/><br/>Recently rescued from an overcrowded shelter, Petey is just under 6 months old, weighs about 30 pounds, and is ready to find a family that's as excited about life as he is. Every day is the best day ever in Petey's world, and he approaches it with boundless enthusiasm, a huge smile, and absolutely no concern for where his feet are.<br/><br/>Petey LOVES other dogs. His play style is energetic, joyful, and completely non-dominant. He isn't interested in being the boss—he just wants everyone to have fun. And watching him play is pure entertainment. He gallops, bounces, skids around corners, occasionally wipes out for no apparent reason, and somehow manages to trip over his own feet on a regular basis. Fortunately, Petey thinks falling down is just part of the game. He pops right back up, ready for the next round.<br/><br/>Because he enjoys canine company so much, we'd love to see him go to a home with another playful dog (or two!) who will appreciate his goofy antics and help him burn off some puppy energy.<br/><br/>Petey would also love an active family that enjoys getting out and exploring. Hiking trails, neighborhood walks, trips to the park, camping weekends, beach days—if it sounds like an adventure, Petey is all in. He'll happily be your enthusiastic sidekick wherever life takes you.<br/><br/>Like any puppy, Petey is still learning the ropes and will need continued training, guidance, and plenty of positive reinforcement as he grows up. In return, you'll get an endlessly cheerful best friend who is guaranteed to make you laugh every single day.<br/><br/>Petey is just under 6 months old, weighs about 30 pounds, and his breed is anyone's guess—but whatever mix he is, it's a wonderful one.<br/><br/>Adoption fee: $500 (includes vaccines, microchip, and neuter surgery).<br/>Apply at www.lakesideanimalrescue.com
