My name is Petey!

This puppy is in Tennessee. Adoption Donation $200 if picked up in TN, $275 plus transport fee for out-of-state adoptions.

Petey is a joyful, grateful puppy whose constantly wagging tail tells you exactly how happy he is to be loved. This 8.5 month old pup weighs 35 pounds and appears to be a Lab mix with English Pointer looks, bringing together playful puppy energy and a wonderfully calm off switch. Petey loves running and playing in the yard, then happily heading inside to relax on a dog bed or in his open crate. One of his most endearing habits is choosing a toy or chew from the toy box and carefully carrying it to his crate or bed, sometimes gathering a few favorites before settling in to relax. He understands sit and come, is very treat motivated, and truly wants to please, which makes him a great candidate for continued training with someone who enjoys working with their dog.

He is fully housetrained, quickly learned to use a dog door, and has never had accidents indoors. Petey sleeps quietly in his crate all night, eats his meals there, and sees it as a comfortable, happy place to rest. He walks nicely on leash without pulling and enjoys trail walks, often alongside another dog. Petey is affectionate, gentle, and social. He does well with dogs of all ages, respects older dogs, loves playing with younger ones, and has been wonderful with adults and children. He enjoys meeting new people, soaking up attention, and even lining up for brushing time. A fenced yard and a home with another dog would be ideal, though he would also thrive with a family or person looking for a loyal, loving companion willing to continue his training. If you think Petey could be the perfect addition to your home, please contact us for more information.

Prior to adoption, all canines and felines are spayed or neutered, have received their age appropriate vaccinations, have been de-wormed for common parasites, and have received treatment for prevention of fleas and ticks. All canines over the age of 6 months have been tested for heartworm. All canines are put on heartworm prevention as soon as possible - this means dogs as soon as they are tested negative. Puppies are put on prevention immediately. All felines, regardless of age, have been tested for Feline Leukemia/FIV. Each animal receives a health check by a licensed veterinarian prior to adoption. Anything else found will be treated by our organization prior to adoption.
