Story
OK, we will say it up front. We just know this boy will not be available for long. Sweet Pete is a male Cattle Dog mix with a striking blue merle coat. One year old and nearly fully grown, he currently weighs 50 pounds and is expected to be a medium sized pooch (under 60 pounds) at maturity. Pete, along with his sibling Squeaky, was picked up as a stray and brought to a shelter. We are serious when we say he is a sweet one and a gem of a boy. Cuddly and well behaved, this boy thoroughly enjoys running in the yard and cozy naps in a quiet corner. He is a high energy guy that will need a good amount of daily physical and mental stimulation. He would be a great candidate for canine agility training. Once he works out his energy, he will settle down for a long nap and he does well sleeping through the night on his own comfy bed. Pete would greatly enjoy a family with a fenced yard that would give him ample opportunities to run around and work off his energy. Perhaps an equally energetic canine sibling will be in his forever family. He is great with children of all sizes and other dogs. His behavior around cats is unknown at this time.Pete wants to impress, and he knows that his house-training skills really do the trick, so he has worked hard at it and is trained. He is still working on his leash and crate training so he will need more practice in both skills. It is important to remember that although Pete is house trained, accidents can occur while he is adjusting to a new home environment. He is a smart boy and has learned the commands of sit, lay down, stay and wait which we think is super impressive. Way to go Pete! Pete will be awesome in a loving home where there is an ongoing commitment to providing training, socialization and plenty of daily exercise. And tons of affection, too. He is more than ready to settle in and become an amazing, lifelong companion. You will lose if you snooze, so submit your application today. The adoption fee for Pete is $500.
