04/02/09 Petey moved into a temporary
home while his foster family was on vacation and we now know that Petey
should go to a home without cats. Petey is also in need of a new foster home
due to unrelated issues.
Petey's a wonderful boy who has been moved around too many times in
the last six months. He has done well with most of the dogs he has met and
loves people of all ages. If you would like to either foster or adopt Petey,
please contact us as soon as possible.

Update - Petey has been
neutered and is absolutely ready for his new family to find him. He’s a
great dog – full of life and just looking to have fun! He does very well
with the children in our house (ages 9 & 13).
Petey LOVES playing in the snow. He runs full speed from one end of the
yard to the other. He’s not interested in toys, but has learned to pull
treats out if I fill a toy with them. Petey has also learned the down
command and walks very well on a leash. He’s a very happy, energetic,
enthusiastic boy who sleeps as hard as he plays. He’s really enjoying some
of the canned Spot’s Stew donated by Halo. He gets plain dry food in the
morning and he takes his time eating it. When we add in the canned at night,
he’s just about finished before I walk away!
If you’re looking for a low-maintenance dog who can still keep up with an
active family, Petey may be the right dog for you. He’s also eligible for a
reduced adoption fee, so please consider this wonderful boy. You won’t
regret it!

Petey's HW treatment was just
over six weeks ago and now that he's allowed some activity, it's time to get
him out and about! He was at a PetSmart event just before the holidays and
enjoyed all the attention he received. He was a little nervous, but that's
to be expected since he's been cooped up for so long. We'll also be
working on re-introducing him to other dogs. Petey is very loving and will
cover your face with kisses if you let him. He has recently discovered that
belly rubs are a very good thing and likes to lay with his head on my lap.
He enjoys his back yard time and lets us know if anyone is walking by. He
might look more like a Lab, but his body movements are all Boxer (as is his
clumsiness!). He has the Boxer lean perfected. Petey loves his treats and
sits nicely for them. It's very obvious that Petey had not had an easy life.
He has callusses on his elbows and tail from sitting too long on hard
surfaces and we still feel little scabs on his skin even though he's been
off the streets for almost three months. He's even missing one of his lower
canines. Petey has put some weight back on his frame and could still use
another pound or two. He deserves a much better life than what he's had up
till now. Will you be the home that can provide the love and attention he
deserves?

Petey is another Heartworm

He was found wondering the streets and we could not say no when we were
called to help.
Petey is safe in a foster home and will begin his
Heartworm treatment next week.
We have 5 Heartworm positive dogs in rescue now so keep your dogs
on Interceptor or Heartgard Plus all year round to protect them!!
Please help with these medical bills so we can save their lives!!!
