Meet the Pet
This helps RescuedOhio with pet care costs.
Meet Peter!
Breed: Greyhound mix
Age: 1.5 years
Weight: 50 lbs
Size: Medium-Large (but his heart? XXL)
Gender: Male
Energy Level: Medium
Bonded Pair: Must be adopted with his sister and best friend, Meg
Peter is a gentle, affectionate, and goofy boy who has been through a lot and still radiates sweetness. Peter and Meg were part of an unplanned litter in rural Ohio. While their littermates found homes early on, Peter and Meg were left behind. They ended up in a shelter as young pups and stayed there until January 2025. Growing up in a shelter was tough, but it never dimmed Peter’s sweet spirit.
Peter and Meg have spent every single day of their lives together and share a truly special bond. They love to play, cuddle, and look out for each other. When Peter suffered a fractured tibia, Meg took on the role of Florence Nightingale, bringing him food, staying close, and always making sure he was okay. That love goes both ways. Peter’s surgery was in March, and he’s now fully healed with no restrictions. He and Meg are having an absolute BLAST zooming around the yard together.
Peter’s Personality:
Nicknamed Sweetie Petey Pie, Peter is the definition of a lovebug. He adores belly rubs, snuggles, and being close to his people. He’s a little calmer and less energetic than Meg, but don’t be fooled, he can absolutely keep up when it’s time to play. Peter is curious and goofy, but not quite as confident as Meg. He is a bit nervous and apprehensive in new environments. While having Meg by his side helps to give him the reassurance he needs, Peter and Meg will need an understanding adopter who will allow Peter time to settle in. Peter gives the cutest little “smile” when he’s content with soft eyes and a gentle smirk that will melt your heart and he is such a snuggle bug!
Dog Friendly: Yes. Peter loves other dogs
Cat Friendly: Unknown. Likely curious but we don't suspect he would harm the cat.
Kid Friendly: Kids 10+ would be best. Peter is not at all aggressive, he is actually on the scared/timid side with younger kids. He hasn't quite figured them out and the chaos that accompanies small children can be a little stressful for him. Peter and Meg also have quite a bit of energy and can be jumpy when exicted.
Apartment Friendly: No
Fence Requirement: A fenced yard is required
Crate Trained: Yes
Housebroken: Yes
Ideal Home:
Peter and Meg are loving life in foster care and discovering all the joys of home living. Comfy couches, walks, toys, and snuggles. Their ideal home is one where they can be included in daily life, whether it’s playtime in the yard, relaxing on the couch, or tagging along for an adventure. They enjoy each other’s company and can entertain themselves, but they also love to be with their humans and foster dog siblings.
While they are happiest together, Peter and Meg do just fine with short separations, and their forever family should continue supporting some individual time so they don’t become overly dependent on each other.
Peter Loves:
Chest and belly rubs, being near his people, playing with Meg, going for walks, and exploring the backyard. Peter loves toys and treats. He is very food motivated and a quick learner! (especially if treats are involved with training!)
Dislikes:
Peter is serious about mealtime and knows when you're scooping his food. His ears perk up and he can hardly contain his excitement. He does not appreciate extended delays from scoop to serve! (Rude!)
Peter takes some time to adjust in new environments and will need an adopter who is patient and understanding of this. Once Peter is settled in and feels comfortable, you won't believe how much love he has to give. It's truly incredible!
Double the love, double the fun: Meg and Peter are ready to show you just how rewarding adopting a bonded pair can be!
Adoption fee is $500 for Peter and Meg as a pair. Fee includes spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming, flea/heartworm prevention, and heartworm testing (negative if over 6 months).
