We have learned about him as he's a few months into his shelter stay - Petey is potty trained, walks like a pro, social, adorable, gentle, the top critter control officer, gold medal snack catcher, able to entertain himself, loves to play in water, loves squeaky toys, loves pets and being told that he is a good boy! At the end of the day, he loves to lay down on his blanket (self-made floor bed!) and snuggle up with a toy. Come check out Petey - you wont regret it!

Developed in the United States, they are intelligent and affectionate dogs, making them great family companions.

They thrive on human interaction and are eager to please their owners.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
