Petey is a young adult pitbull & bulldog mix. Hes a big baby who loves to cuddle in bed, chill on the couch, or go for rides in the car. When the zoomies come, hes a bundle of fun energy!Petey is very energetic and loves to play with other dogs and go for walks. He shares his food bowl and toys with other dogs in the household without any signs of resource guarding.Petey is neutered and fully vetted. Because of Peteys playful energy, we do not think a family with kids under the age of 12 will be good. We dont want anyone to get knocked down when hes running to play fetch or practicing parkour. The same goes for cats, rabbits, guinea pigs Petey loves to play and we dont want them to be his toy! This beautiful rascal is about 60 pounds of muscle and cant wait to join his forever family!Apply at ricopetrecovery.orgHis adoption fee is $250.

Story
This handsome guy is Copper. He is approximately one year young and weighs in at 34 pounds. Copper is a very happy pup most of the time. He is happy to see people, dogs, toys, and very happy to see food. Initially Copper did not seem to know what toys were and how fun toys can be. Now he knows! He is cute exploring the toy box. Copper came from a hoarding case. He and 10 other dogs were kept outdoors on a heavy, short chain with only a plastic tube for shelter. The other 10 dogs were nearby but Copper was unable to interact with them due to those chains. Copper could use a patient person who understands his need for attention and socialization.Apply to meet him at ricopetrecovery.orgFee is $250
