Petey

Meet Petey!<br/><br/>Petey is a charming little gentleman searching for his forever home—and your lap might just be his favorite place to land. We estimate this adorable Shih Tzu (possibly Maltese!) mix to be around 2–3 years old** and about 15ish pounds (he’s very dedicated to never missing a meal).<br/><br/>Petey’s dream job? Professional lap cuddler. He’s a sweet boy who thrives on attention, affection, and all the pets you’re willing to give. While he’s friendly, he’s fairly indifferent to other dogs and cats—happy to coexist peacefully or be your one-and-only companion.<br/><br/>When he’s not soaking up snoozes on the couch, Petey enjoys playing with his toys and proudly carrying them around. He’s crate-trained and leash-trained and he sleeps in his crate overnight without any issues. He’s mostly house-trained as well. Since he was recently neutered, he’s had a bit of lingering marking behavior, but he wears male diapers like a champ, and we fully expect this habit to continue fading as his hormones settle. Petey is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines and HW negative. <br/><br/>Now, in the spirit of honesty, let’s talk about Petey’s quirks. He can show some resource guarding around food, high-value treats, and some toys. His foster mom has noticed occasional growling, and with calm correction and clear boundaries, he responds well and settles quickly. Because of this, Petey would do best with a confident, attentive adopter who’s comfortable continuing his training—and we feel he’s best suited for a home without young children.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a loyal sidekick to stroll the neighborhood by day and snuggle on the couch by night, Petey could be your perfect match. He has so much love to give and is ready to share it with the right forever family.<br/><br/>Apply to meet Petey today: https://forms.gle/97sdyZgWiVDcYPJk6<br/><br/>Petey's adoption fee is $350 and includes UTD vetting, HW testing (negative!), neuter and microchip.
