Petey


Gorgeous little Petey was spotted alone in a remote orchard in the Central Valley, far from towns or homes. His wonderful rescuer sent a trapper to get him. He was matted, scared, hungry and thirsty.


We guess him to be about 5 or 6 years old and he’s a little guy, just 8 pounds. He wags his tail when we enter the shelter but he’s nervous to ask for affection.


Petey will need a patient loving home with a secure backyard. No exceptions; he needs to be where he can gain confidence at his own pace. We can pet him and pick him up, but it requires some time and a slow, gentle touch. 


BUT....!!  Petey is worth it. He’s very sweet and he gets along well with the other dogs. He loves to sunbathe and he follows us around in the shelter courtyard.


Petey needs love and patience. Experienced homes preferred.
