Petey (D2012) - Boston Terrier Dog for Adoption in Gloucester Point, Virginia

Petey is a 4-year-old Boston Terrier weighing approximately 20 lbs, and he is looking for a loving forever home that understands his past and will give him the time and patience he deserves.

Petey came to 4 Paws from an abusive environment. When he arrived, he was underweight, and it was clear that he had been through a lot. He is now getting the love, care, and support he needs to move forward.

Petey does well with dogs, kids and cats, making him a pretty easygoing little guy when it comes to his furry and human friends.

There is one very important thing his future family needs to understand: Petey is petrified of being crated. He can potentially hurt himself trying to escape a crate, so a traditional crate is not safe for him. He does well when left out and will need a home that understands and respects this need.

Petey is looking for someone who will give him the time to build trust and feel safe. His foster-to-adopt situation recently didn’t work out, but we truly believe his forever family is still out there.

As with all dogs, Petey will need time to adjust to a new home and its expectations. His future family should understand that pet ownership is a lifelong commitment, one that requires daily exercise, continued training, and socialization. Remember: a good dog is a tired dog!

Petey has already been through more than any dog should. Now he deserves a safe, loving home where he can finally feel secure. Please help us find his people.
