He has a calm, affectionate nature and would love a home where he can enjoy leisurely walks, cozy naps, and plenty of cuddle time.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Vetting complete Meet Petey!  Petey is a 3-year-old, 14-pound bundle of joy with a smile that can brighten anyone's day. This handsome little guy had a rough start after being found as an injured stray. Because of his injury, his tail had to be docked, but don't let that fool you. If Petey isn't sleeping, he's wagging what he has left with pure happiness! Life as a beloved pet is still a new adventure for Petey, and he's embracing it one day at a time. He has a big appetite and not just for food, but for love and attention, too. He adores being close to his people and is happiest curled up in a lap or soaking up affection. He's eager to please, even-tempered, and has been described by the veterinary staff as a "super sweet, happy boy." Like many former strays, Petey hasn't quite forgotten that food can be scarce. He's an enthusiastic little trash scavenger, so keeping tempting snacks and garbage out of reach will help set him up for success. With consistency and patience, he's continuing to learn what it means to be a cherished family member. Petey can be a little protective when first meeting new people, but once he realizes you're a friend, his sweet and affectionate nature shines through. He rides well in the car, gets along with other dogs, is great with adults, and is always ready to be your loyal sidekick. Petey has overcome a difficult beginning and is now looking for the happy ending he deserves. If you're searching for a devoted companion with a heart as big as his smile, Petey is ready to wag his way right into your life. Petey is proof that sometimes the sweetest souls just need someone to give them a second chance.       Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 17, 2026, 11:28 am

Story
We rescued Hank a couple months ago. He was abandoned on the side of the road. We have taken him to the vet a couple times to get him checked out and all of his vaccines up to date. According to the vet they think he is a Labrador/Rottweiler mix about 1.5-1.7years old. He is an awesome dog, but our work schedules do not allow for an environment that is best for him. He needs to be around people or pets not in a kennel for 9-10 hours a day. He is very sweet and friendly. He hardly ever barks too. He is also house trained, only one accident in two months time!
