Petey's Story

Petey<br/>Eight years old, 10lbs<br/>Rescued in the southwest <br/>Vaccinated and altered <br/><br/>Meet Petey (aka Little, Bub)! This sweet, loving, quiet guy is low energy and deeply devoted to his person — he'll actually come find you if you're in another room too long. He handles new situations well, though loud, abrupt noises or yelling can make him a little nervous (he's taken ambulances and loud music in stride, for what it's worth). He's great with adults and older kids, though younger kids' big energy might stress him out. He’s curious but a bit cautious meeting new dogs. When left alone or when guests visit, he’s totally at ease.<br/><br/>Petey is fully potty trained, excellent on leash (no pulling, always listens when it's time to go), and knows an impressive set of commands: sit, turn around both ways, come here, and drop it. His days follow a gentle, consistent walk schedule morning through night, with naps in between, and while he doesn't need much exercise, he genuinely loves to explore and will happily keep walking as long as you let him. He's a huge cuddler, practically silent (no barking at all), content to watch the world go by from a window, and easygoing enough to hang out calmly on a patio while you catch up with friends. He'd do well as an only dog with someone who's around most of the day, or in a two-dog household so he'll have company during long work hours — either way, he thrives as the devoted lap-dog companion. His foster describes him as full of character with wildly expressive eyes, funny, curious, and coming further out of his shell every day — practically the perfect quiet city dog, aside from his tendency to try to sneak a bite of whatever you're eating.<br/><br/>Petey previously tested positive for heartworm and was treated before he left the south.<br/><br/>INTERESTED IN ADOPTING?<br/>To adopt apply on our website www.truenorthrescue.org/adopt and email adopt@truenorthrescue.org to follow up on your application.<br/><br/>PLEASE DO NOT EMAIL TO ASK IF HE/SHE IS AVAILABLE. IF THIS LISTING IS UP, THE DOG IS NOT ADOPTED YET.<br/><br/>Also, we have a very high volume of applications and we are all volunteers. We cannot respond to every application personally. Please make sure your application gives us a good picture of your family and the life you plan on providing a dog from our rescue. We choose a home based on the BEST FIT for EACH dog and approve on a dog by dog basis. Thank you!

True North Pet Rescue Mission's Adoption Policy
First Step: Submit Your Application True North does not issue blanket approvals, we consider the needs of each specific dog when reviewing applications. If you don't have a specific dog in mind when applying, please note this on your application so that we can keep this in mind when reviewing. We require home photos for all applicants, but can accept a video replacement. Please enter as much detail as possible on your application, this helps us better understand what you are looking for and how this relates to the needs of the dog you have applied for. For puppies under 12 weeks, we require a care plan. This includes a plan for when the dog will be left alone, as puppies younger than 12 weeks should not be left alone longer than 2-3 hours at a time. Please Note: Due to the high volume of applications we receive, it is not always possible to reply to everyone. If your application is approved, you can expect the following. Second Step: Application Review & Approval 1. If your application is approved, an email will be sent connecting you with the dog's current foster. At this time, you may schedule a mutually convenient time to meet. 2. After meeting, you have 24 hours to confirm if you would like to move forward with finalizing the adoption. After this, if we have not heard from you, we will begin scheduling other meets. 3. If you choose to finalize, we will issue an adoption contract via email. Once the signed agreement has been electronically returned along with the adoption fee (which will be disclosed prior to adopting), you will be all set to coordinate for pick-up with the foster! Adoption Fees: Our adoption fees are comparable to those found amongst other well-known rescues in the city. We only accept electronic payments for adoption fees.
