Peter and Meg are a bonded pair and need to be adopted together.
Meg and Peter were a part of an unplanned litter in rural Ohio. Their littermates found homes, but Meg and Peter weren’t so lucky. They were taken to a shelter at only a few months old and stayed there until January. Meg and Peter grew up in the shelter, which is no place for puppies to grow up, but it didn’t prevent them from letting their sweet and loving temperaments shine.
Meg and Peter have spent every day of their lives together and have created a strong bond. They have a sweet, caring, and nurturing bond, but they also love to play and roughhouse. Peter had limited mobility due to a broken leg and Meg took care of him, always checking on him and making sure he wasn’t far behind. Meg would make sure Peter had food, even bringing food from the food bowl over to Peter lying on the floor when he wasn’t able to get up. They have been through a lot together and we’re really enjoying showing them what life outside the shelter is like!
Peter had surgery for his tibia fracture in March and he’s approaching the last stretch of recovery. He can’t wait to be zooming around the yard with Meg!
Dog Friendly: Yes, Peter loves other dogs.
Cat Friendly: Unsure. We suspect he would be curious, but he wouldn’t harm the cat.
Kids: Yes. Kids 8 years and older would be best. Meg and Peter can be jumpy when they're excited or wanting to play.
Apartment Friendly: NoFence Requirements: Fenced yard is a requirement.
Crate Trained: YesPotty Trained: Yes
Ideal Home / Adopter: Peter is so sweet! He has earned the nickname “sweetie petey pie”. He loves affection, being pet, belly/chest rubs. You can tell when he’s giving his version of a smile, his eyes soften and he gives a little smirk. It’s the cutest thing! Peter is goofy, curious and very sweet natured. He is generally calmer than Meg, but keeps up with Meg when playing and roughhousing.
Meg and Peter’s ideal home would be one that will allow them to be included in whatever is going on in the household. After growing up in the shelter, they are still learning the luxuries of living in a home and they sure are loving it! Meg and Peter can entertain themselves, but they also really enjoy being around their humans and foster dog siblings.
While Meg and Peter are happiest together, they are not distraught if separated. It will be important for their adopter to facilitate some individual time for each dog in order to keep this attachment healthy. We don’t want them to become anxious or upset when separated.
Likes: There really isn’t much that Meg and Peter don’t like! Peter enjoys lying next to you and getting chest/belly rubs. He likes to snuggle. He enjoys playtime with his sister, toys, exploring outside. He likes going for walks. He is very food motivated and loves yummy treats!
Dislikes: Meg and Peter do very well being crated beside each other. Every once in a while they may give you a little reminder that they are still in the crate, if they’ve been in there for a while. Even so, it’s very brief and they settle back down. It’s very manageable.
Meg and Peter can’t wait to show you that sometimes two dogs are better than one!
Meg and Peter's adoption fee is $500. All fees include spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations, worming, flea and heartworm current. All dogs over 6 months of age have been tested and are heartworm negative. If you are interested in adopting, apply at rescuedohio.org to become an approved adopter and a meet & greet can be set up once approved.
