Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi, I’m Petey, a handsome little male Chihuahua/Terrier mix with gorgeous honey-gold eyes, about 1 year old, 9.6 lbs and I was released from a hoarding home in Pharr Texas near the border of Mexico. About a dozen of us were taken in by 4 Little Paws Rescue and I'm currently living in a foster home in San Antonio. I've been having fun and now I'm neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready to be adopted and get the heck out of Texas, so I’ll tell you a bit about my personality…
I'm a happy friendly boy, a speck shy at first, but then wagging like crazy, passing out kisses, and running zoomies all around the yard, living it up, and having gobs of fun with my little doggy friends. I’ve never had dog toys before so I am learning how fun they are to squeak and play with. I’m affectionate and I love snuggling beside my foster mom to take a nap and sometimes I sleep beside her at bedtime. I’m well-behaved and I’m already housebroken. I only bark to alert and I’m a good boy roaming free inside the house. Overall I’m sweet as can be, I love everyone, and it's obvious I love life. The only thing that could make me happier is when I move to Connecticut this week to be a real forever dog, being loved and pampered by someone awesome, going for walks and rides in the car and just being me!
