PETEY

Hi, Im Petey! I came to Home Fur Good allllll the way back in 2021, and have been waiting for 5 whole years! I am 6 years old now, you do the math, thats basically my whole life! I have a lot of friends here, and my favorite volunteer takes me swimming every week. Ive gone hiking and camping too! I am the most athletic adventure boy you could ask for. Want to hike 10 miles? Im in! Want to go for a run around the neighborhood? Yes please! Want to play fetch? Thats my favorite game! I just LOVE being active! Now, you must be wondering why I havent been adopted in all this time. Being in the shelter for so long, Ive developed some stranger danger. I dont know what people are going to do to me when they first meet me or if theyll be nice, so I use my big bark and show my teeth to get them to go away. Thats easier than possibly being mistreated, so Ive learned that making myself look big and scary at first is the way to be. I meet people with a muzzle to start off, and after a few meets I am your friend for LIFE. I have never bitten anybody, and my HFG handlers know exactly how to manage my behavior! I have been to Board and Train programs a few times, and my obedience skills are top notch. I actually love to train and learn, keeping my brain active is almost as fun for me as being physically active! I am always ready to learn new things, and my HFG family would provide plenty of funds for continued training in my new home! My behavior can be managed pretty simply in a home, if there are people I dont know coming over, Id rather go into my kennel and have some time to myself rather than be a part of the party. Dont feel bad, I love taking naps and chewing my bones in my kennel! I dont need to be muzzled for walks or hikes, I just need you to advocate for me and let people know I dont want to be pet. My ideal home would be without other pets, I will give you all the love youll ever need! I have been with other dogs before and been fine, but Id rather adjust to home life without having to adjust to a furry friend as well. Ive been in the shelter so long, Id love somebody all for myself. A single person or a couple where both people are truly all in would be great, no kiddos for me please! I just want somebody to give me a chance, I know I may not be as easy as a puppy or a dog that wants to be everybodys friend, but I am so deserving of a real life. I spend everyday in the same kennel, and although my HFG family loves me deeply, their heart breaks for me. They tell me my people will come someday, so I just wait. If you cant take me home, share my story with as many people you can! I sure hope my day is coming. <br/><br/>If you are interested in Petey, know there will be HELP AND SUPPORT. Our trainer and animal coordinator will be with you every step of the process to make sure you and Petey succeed. Call 602-971-1334 to make an appointment to meet Petey. Please consider our favorite boy.
