Notes from foster: Petey current lives with kids, cats and has been around a larger dog and loved him. He can be a little nervous when meeting new people, but it doesn't take long for him to warm up. Petey's life before coming into foster care is unknown. We know he was abandoned after accidently escaping from a vehicle when his owners got out. He got scared and ran off. They decided they did not want spend time looking for him, so they left. He was on his own, loose for over a week before being caught. Despite all of this, he has adjusted to foster care and loves his foster family.
