Pete and his sister Luna were found by a Good Samaritan having playtime in the middle of the road near Warrenton, NC. Pete is vet aged at approximately 8 weeks old and weighs in currently at 6lbs. When full grown, he will most likely mature to around 40-50 lbs. He and his sister are believed to be pit/hound mixes; Pete looks more like a bully breed while his sister has a more petite face that makes her look more hound.
He is an incredibly sweet boy who loves to play for short spurts and then enjoy a good nap snuggled up next to you. Overall, Pete has a very laid-back demeanor and has taken to having a routine very well. Both he and his sister have been crated during the day and at night to sleep, with minimal accidents in the crate during that time. While not fully potty trained, he will whine when he needs to go potty and has no problems using the bathroom outside. In fact, it is the first thing he does each time he goes out.
During his time in foster care, Pete has lived/interacted with three personal dogs (one small, one medium, and one large) and has done extremely well with all of them.
Ideal Home
Pete will definitely benefit from using a slow feeder bowl in his forever home, as he currently eats very quickly. He is also fed in a separate space away from other dogs because when he finishes his food, he will wander to check out everyone else’s. He has shown zero signs of food aggression, but due to his age and general curiosity, he currently lacks boundaries when it comes to feeding time around other dogs.
Ongoing Health
Pete has received his first set of shots, been dewormed, treated for fleas and ticks, and also microchipped.
Training & Support
Currently, we are working towards forward movement when leashed and getting down some basic commands. He is very smart and food-motivated, so he will be a breeze to train! Pete does excellent on car rides; he will whine for a minute, then settles down to sleep. He also does not get carsick. He has been bathed several times already and did very well with that too.
