What You Want to Know

Meet Sweetie Petey, a 5 year old chihuahua who was in foster care in southern Indiana.  His sweet demeanor won him a spot on a transport up north to Rover Rescue where he has a new foster family.  He arrived with Bullet, another chihuahua foster, and was one of the most scared dogs to arrive in a long time.  He hunkered down deep into the dog beds and tried to make himself invisible for the first few days.  He has slowly relaxed his body language and raised his ears.  He even tags behind the pack of dogs in the home and is getting more comfortable each day.  He is no threat to any dog nor the family's cat who is nearly twice the size of Petey.

 

Petey also lives with 4 children and isn't bothered by them or their loud noises at all.  He is often found in the older children's room on top of the fluffiest blanket.  He seems to like to sleep in some of the oddest places - the back of the couch, in a laundry basket or open suitcase, or even among the stuffed animals which makes him really hard to find!  He will need a family who isn't offended by his shyness and will be patient while he figures out his surroundings.  Once he does, he has a super sweet temperament which is how he became Sweetie Petey!  He also has a unique easy to care for coat that is dappled with rust-colored spots.

 

Petey appears to be housetrained and makes no attempt to chew or destroy anything in the home.  He has been neutered and is heartworm negative.  He is up to date on his vaccinations including bordetella and rabies.  He is crated during the day when his foster family is gone and again at night.  He is such a submissive cuddler that it probably would not be necessary to crate him at night as he has shown no signs of any mischievous behavior.  Petey's adoption fee is $175.  Prior to meeting Petey, a phone interview is necessary.  His foster mom has some questions and is ready to answer any questions too!  If interested in learning more about Petey, please call 630-585-7927.
