Petey Needs a Foster or Adopter by 1/17/26 to Secure His Ride to Wisconsin

Petey is currently in Georgia at a kill shelter and needs a foster or adopter in place to reserve his spot on the transport truck to Cedarburg, WI with Mutt Life Dog Rescue. Without a committed home, Petey won’t be able to make the trip north.

Meet Petey
Petey is a 6-year-old Terrier mix who has quickly proven himself to be an absolute gem in his foster home. Surrendered through no fault of his own, this sweet boy is now getting a second chance—and he’s making the most of it.

Petey is friendly, intelligent, and easygoing. He does great with kids, enjoys the company of other dogs, and would thrive in an active home that includes him in daily life. He’s currently polishing up his potty training and is learning fast, showing off just how smart and eager he is.

An outdoorsy pup at heart, Petey would love to be your farm helper, hiking partner, dog park buddy, or daycare regular. He loves the water, enjoys exploring, and has been wonderful off leash with his foster—staying close and taking cues from the pack. He’s truly an all-around good dog who just wants to belong.

Age: 6 years
Gender: Male
Weight: 30 lbs
Breed: Terrier (best guess)
Spayed/Neutered: Yes
Potty Trained: In progress
Crate Trained: Yes

Petey is ready to trade his foster home for a forever one where he can settle in and enjoy life. If you’re looking for a loyal, fun-loving companion, Petey might be your perfect match.
