Petey - Basenji and Terrier Dog for Adoption in Austin, Texas

I'm new to APA! and am taking a few days to get to know my new friends before I'll be available to leave the shelter. But that doesn't mean I wouldn't love to have a foster or even adopter lined up and ready to take me home once I am available! If you are interested in learning more about me please ask a staff member!
