Meet Petey
Name: Petey
Breed: Pit Bull mix
Approximate Age: 1.5 years
Approximate Weight: 60 lbs
Sex: Male
MEDICAL CONDITION(S): Deaf, Ventricular septal defect (VSD)
BEHAVIORAL CONCERN: Resource guards
Adoption Requirements: Must have experience with deaf dogs OR be willing to enroll in training upon adoption
Hello New England, Petey here! I am so excited to finally be given the chance to get my own forever family. I was in a rural shelter in KY that shut down so I got moved to another shelter, they adopted me out a few times but I was returned because the humans never gave me a chance to show them how awesome I am even though I am deaf. I would love a family that has experience with deaf dogs or one that is willing to go to training with me to learn how to communicate with me.
I do have a heart condition that needs to be monitored as well but I don't let that bring me down. I love to go hiking and explore the world. I hope we can see the world together! I get along with my K9 friends though I do prefer to be "top dog" so I probably would not do well with another dominant dog.
