Story
**Please read Petu's entire profile, which includes a link to the adoption application at the end. Thank you!**
Meet Petu, an 8-year-old Mixed Breed, weighing 14 pounds (as of 12/30/25)! He was recently surrendered when his primary owner sadly passed away. While Petu will miss and always love his previous home, he hopes to find the next home where he can continue to be the perfect companion.
Petu is a true sweetheart and loves to spend time with his humans. Whether it's yelling at the TV when your home team loses the game, celebrating Thanksgiving with the new in-laws, or selling Girl Scout cookies outside a grocery store, Petu wants to be a part of life's precious moments. His favorite activities include going on walks around the neighborhood, chasing balls and playing with his toys.
While he can be a little timid around men at first, but he does warm up to them eventually. It helps if you bribe him with treats (which he LOVES)! Petu is also very alert when it comes to strangers and is more than ready to bark if a group of kids are about to egg your house! Not on his watch! He also "sits," "leaves it," and comes when you call him.
In 2021, Petu had a grade 1 heart murmur, which is now a grade 2-3 in recent visits. It was recommended that he have an echo, and he is also blind due to bilateral cataracts. According to his previous owner, Petu can still see and didn't walk into objects around his home, but he'll need patience as he adjusts to the unfamiliar surroundings of your home.
Petu is pee-pad trained and would thrive in a home with an older person or couple who enjoy peace and quiet as he's a very gentle and sweet soul. Sound good to you? Adopt Petu today!
All dogs are up to date on vaccinations and spayed/neutered at the time of adoption. All dogs require professional training to become the best family member they can be.

THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY IN A FOSTER HOME WITHIN A REASONABLE DISTANCE OF OUR KENNEL IN WOBURN, MA. ONCE A POTENTIAL ADOPTER IS MATCHED WITH A DOG AND GOES THROUGH OUR REFERENCE AND INTERVIEW PROCESS WITH AN ADOPTION COORDINATOR THIS DOG WOULD BE AVAILABLE FOR YOU TO MEET BEFORE ADOPTION. IT IS OUR GOAL TO GET ALL LOCAL DOGS TO THEIR FOREVER FAMILIES WITHIN 7 DAYS ONCE MATCHED.
PLEASE READ: If a dog is listed, then s/he is currently available for adoption. Their information is correct to the best of our abilities and the information we have been given as of the day of posting. From time to time we receive new information/photos of a dog and we do recreate their listing, which means their old listing link will no longer be valid. If you are considering a dog but don't apply right away please make sure to search for the dog by name if the link you have no longer works.
Please note, GDRNE does not guarantee the breed of any dog or puppy unless stated that we have run DNA. All breeds listed are educated estimates. Note that if the dog is listed as an "Out of town pet" there are NOT additional transport fees - it is included in our adoption fee Our dogs are rescued from various situations. It is most likely that both their parents were strays and even if not, mixes of some sort and that their grandparents were mixes as well. The dog may have some genetic material of an American Staffordshire Terrier (pit bull). The dogs are usually mixes of many breeds, making them a breed all their own - a True and adorable American MUTT. If you are interested in this dog, you must submit an application. Great Dog is not a shelter so there is no building you can visit. Our dogs live in private foster homes until adopted.
