My story

Petey is a large, happy, grateful boy who has been given a second chance at the good life. Prior to becoming a HART NM dog, Petey lived his life outdoors in a kennel. Petey is happiest when he is inside with his foster mom watching her cook or work but he definitely enjoys romping and playing with other large dogs. Petey will do best in a home with other large active dogs to play with. Since being with his foster mom, Petey has learned how to sit, lay down, and shake paw on command. He is housetrained and is accostomed to being let in and out several times a day. Petey has been leash trained with a Halti Colar and is most comfortable wearing one on his outtings; he will make a great exercise partner! He is a very affection motivated dog and loves being rubbed down. Petey’s foster mom affectionately calls him “Speedy Petey” because his long legs make him a very fast runner. Due to Petey’s large size, and having never been around young children in his early life, he would do best in a home with older children as he doesn't realize his large size. Since Petey is a tall boy, he requires a 6' fence. Bonus fact about Petey, he takes baths like a champion and enjoys being scrubbed down!

More about this rescue

The Homeless Animal Rescue Team is Valencia County's premier animal rescue organization. The HART is staffed by a Board of Directors, consisting of President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, and three Directors. The HART staff has extensive knowledge and has undertaken local and state-wide animal issues.
HART staff have collaborated and/or initiated a number of efforts which have led to recognition as a state-wide resource for individuals and agencies serving New Mexico's animal population. Since 1996, it has embarked on an agenda of promoting the concept and practice of the No-Kill Sheltering of Animals and has expanded its agenda beyond Valencia County to include the State of New Mexico.
Within the HART organization are programs that deal with different issues concerning animals. We house a No-Kill Shelter Plan, we house a Foster Home Program, we house a new Spay and Neuter Assistance Program. Also, we house a new Education Program, under which individuals from the very young to the very old can partake in multimedia education/service projects that benefit specifically the animals in the environment, and contribute to environmental education for all individuals.
