Petey,
our 9 year old 20 pound terrier mix, isn't winning any spelling bees.
He's not going to join the Talented and Gifted program and no one wants
him on their trivia team. Petey's much more likely to be found studying a
fallen leaf (confounding!) or staring at a bicycle (how do they do
it?). Although he's not the smartest dog we know, he certainly is one of
the nicest.
We were asked to take Petey because he needed dental
work. He had been found stray and showed signs of chronic neglect.
Petey's been with us for weeks now; his hair and skin look great and his
teeth are fixed (he had to lose quite a few). During his time with us,
we noted that Petey has an odd gait. He's not in any pain, but is mildly
weak in his back legs. X-rays revealed chronic disc disease. Although
this doesn't affect him much, Petey shouldn't be allowed to jump from
high places and a lot of stairs may be a challenge.
Petey is
friendly to everyone he meets. He is a gentleman on a leash, but gets
easily distracted. His adopter should be okay with watching cars go by
and saying hello to every living thing. Because Petey is so distracted
by life, he can not fathom using the restroom while on lead. For that
reason, Petey does need a yard. Petey does great with other dogs, both
on and off leash, but isn't the best at reading body language. A patient
friend would be ideal.
Petey is potty trained, quiet, not
destructive, and is affectionate. Although he's on the older side, like
most terriers, Petey loves toys and can get super amped when introduced
to the right squeaky. We think Petey would do fine with respectful older
children. He is also likely to do fine with a dog savvy cat. Petey met a
cat on a walk once and just stood there benignly staring while the cat
hissed until his foster mom picked him up. Like we said, Petey is not a
genius.
Petey is heartworm negative and is current on his flea and heartworm preventatives.
Although our Petey's head is mainly air, he's got a solid heart. We are sure his home is out there. Is it yours?
