Labrador Retriever and Chihuahua Dogs Available for Adoption

Hi everyone! It is my pleasure to officially introduce Pete!

Pete is one of the puppies that came in on the most recent transport from Oklahoma. Pete was named after Oklahoma State's mascot, Pistol Pete!

The first evening at my house Pete followed me around and observed everyone and everything in the house. He was incredibly tolerant of his first bath and was happy to be wrapped up in a big warm towel! Pete's first night went smoothly and he slept though the night in his kennel without incident.

Pete's first full day with me was pretty relaxed. He woke up and went potty outside. He has only had 1 accident in the house. He spent the day playing with his foster sister and taking naps. I have started seeing more of Pete's personality. He is observant and cautious around new people/ scenery. He draws a lot of his confidence from his foster sister and looks to her for reassurance. Pete is incredibly gentle and sensitive. I only have to tell him 'no' once and he listens. Pete loves to be held while he is napping. When he's awake, Pete likes running around with his foster sister and throwing around toys. He is so little and already such a good boy!
