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


Petey and Ted have been cherished members of our family for most of my adult life. They are both senior dogs, 13 years old, and have brought us so much love and companionship over the years. Sweet, gentle, and well-mannered, they are wonderful with children, quiet, and incredibly affectionate. They love cuddles and being close, but are also perfectly content on their own during the workday, always ready to greet you warmly when you return.

As older dogs, Petey and Ted don’t require much physical exercise—short walks and relaxing by your side are more than enough to keep them happy. They’re easygoing, low-maintenance companions who thrive on love, routine, and a peaceful environment.
