Hi there. My name is Petey.  I am a male rat terrier that is about seven months old and I weigh just over seven pounds.  I came to the rescue after the “PD” saved me.  You see my family moved away and left me in an empty house.  One day a nice policeman came by the house to check on it and I popped up and ran to him.  I was so scared, hungry and grateful to see someone.  He took me to the shelter, they called the rescue and the rest is history.  Now it’s time to find a family that wants me forever.

   Would it surprise you to know when I came to the rescue I didn’t know I was a dog?  All I wanted was people to hold me and I screamed when I saw other dogs.  Well, that has all changed!  I found out how fun other dogs are and toys can be just awesome.  I have learned to eat dry dog food; sounds strange but I didn’t know what that was either.  I have gotten a lot better at going outside to potty but sorry, I still hate the crate.  I want to cuddle up to you for a nap or sleep with you if you let me.  I am a still a puppy so you will have to help me improve my manners.  I honestly just don’t know what people want but I am willing to learn.  I am a small growing guy and will not get much bigger so you must want a small fur child.

   I am neutered, vaccinated, micro chipped and current on heartworm/flea/tick preventatives.  My adoption fee is 300.00. The first step in adopting me is to complete an application for Petey at dogsasfamily.org   My heart is smiling just thinking about you.
