Fostered in Kitchener

Meet Petey, a 6 year old 20lb chihuahua mix with a sweet demeanor and the appetite of a bear. He is fully housetrained, neutered, and vaccinated. He’s great with kids and other dogs but he hasn’t met any cats.

Petey has a gorgeous short black and white coat with an adorable spot over his eye. His floppy, lopsided ears are also a killer. He’s very well behaved and we haven’t heard him bark at all. We hear he was once crate trained and he does well in his crate now. He needs some re-training to remember how to get in on command. He walks well on a leash!

Because he is quiet, he would probably do well in an apartment. We've left him alone for an hour or two and he was well behaved. We haven't left him for a full day but I think he would be okay if his people were out of the house for work.

Petey is absolutely convinced that every morsel of food belongs to him. It’s clear why he weighs in at about 20 lbs (5 lbs over his healthy weight). He is very polite with his foster family’s food (both human and dog) but he makes his desire very clear with his expectant stares. He is learning about a healthy diet and expectations in his foster home.
