My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Pete!

A lively one-year-old Border Collie Mix hailing from the bustling streets of San Francisco, CA. Pete embodies the essence of a true dog's dog, with an eager enthusiasm for socializing with his furry friends. His playful nature knows no bounds as he happily greets every dog he meets on his daily walks and enjoys engaging in spirited games of wrestling and chasing at the local park. Whether romping with big or small dogs, Pete's friendly attitude shines through, making him a beloved member of any doggy social circle!

With his sharp mind, Pete is a quick learner who thrives on mental challenges and training sessions. Reflecting his heritage as a herding breed, he has a natural tendency toward activity, needing plenty of exercise and stimulation to burn off his abundant energy. Living in the city, Pete often expresses a desire for more space and physical activity to satisfy his instincts.

Though a bit wary of strangers at first, Pete is fiercely loyal and affectionate with his chosen humans. He forms strong bonds with his trusted companions, sticking close to them and showing them plenty of love and devotion!

Ideal living situations for Pete include homes with other dogs for him to play with or ample outdoor space where he can roam and potentially engage in tasks. Potential adopters should be ready to put in the time and effort for Pete's training and enrichment, ensuring his continued growth and happiness.

Pete's favorite activities include playing fetch and chasing his doggy pals at the park. He knows a variety of commands like sit, stay, and shake, showing his eagerness to learn and please!

While generally well-behaved, Pete may show some territorial behavior, especially toward delivery people, and he can get a bit anxious around loud noises. However, he adapts well to being left alone for short periods and can adjust to different routines.

Fully vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped, Pete is healthy and responsible. His excellent house and crate training makes him an ideal companion for any loving home ready to embrace his lively spirit and affectionate nature!

If you are an active family ready to give Pete the exercise he needs, please reach out to us at adopt@joyfulpets.com!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our ultimate goal is to unite as many animals with loving pet parents as possible, so we strive to make it easy to adopt a dog or cat you have fallen in love with. All we ask is that you fill out an adoption application so that we have all the information we need to determine that you'll be able to provide a safe and compassionate home to one of our rescued pets. Once approved, all you need to do is sign our adoption agreement form and provide an adoption donation so that we can continue to save more animals every day and unite them with families just like yours.
