PETEY's Story

Petey has had a DNA Test, he is 42% American Pit Bull Terrier, 17% American Staffordshire Terrier, 8% Boxer, 8% Chow Chow and 4% Chihuahua. Petey’s birthday is November 23, 2019, and he has been at Home Fur Good since November 2021. Petey was found as a stray. His finders took him home and he was free to roam with the husband, wife and their existing dogs with no issues. Over time, Petey has developed negative shelter behaviors, for example, kennel and stranger reactivity. Petey does not know what the new person wants, so Petey learned if he lip curls and growls, people usually go away and then Petey does not have to worry about them any longer. Petey has been to several rounds of Board and Train and LOVES to work. Training is one of his favorite things! Petey was trained on a prong collar and he does know how to heel. He is receptive to training and aims to please, just give him time to understand your requirements. Petey will happily walk for 15 minutes or 15 miles, he just loves to be outside and with a human. Petey’s absolute favorite activity is swimming. He will leap, jump and dive into a pool. Laps for hours and fetching a tennis ball make him the happiest. Petey will want to meet you more than once before you can enter his circle of trust. Throwing a ball over the fence, going for walks with Petey and his handler, giving him treats without expectation, are all routes to earning his trust. A home that doesn’t entertain or have tons of company would be best for Petey. He is crate trained and has had sleep overs while at Home Fur Good. When a serious, committed adopter arrives for Petey, there will be HELP. Paid for training back with George at Couth Canine for both Petey and his new family. Petey’s fans want to set him up to succeed! The adoption fee is $225 and includes spaying/neutering, age-appropriate vaccinations, microchipping, and a free wellness visit at Phoenix Mountain Animal Hospital. Our adoption hours are Thursday-Saturday from 11:00 am-4:00 pm by appointment.
