Description:

Meet Pete (aka "Petey Pants")!

If you're looking for a sweet, laid-back, cuddly, quirky family member who’s dog and kid-friendly, here's your guy!

Pete is the perfect age, size, and temperament. He will fit well into almost any household & lifestyle.

He's been respectful and submissive with our very alpha resident dog, and gentle with our young kids (ages 4 & 7). He LOVES being right by his human(s) - he’s a professional snuggler! He seems to want to please his "pack leader human" and takes direction well. He adjusted quickly to our loud, busy home.

He sheds minimally and so far hasn't barked much (unless our dog does or he wants to come inside from the cold). He is very social and loves the companionship of people and other dogs. He's not sure what to think about the white stuff, but Winter gear helps. He looks like a Rockette when he “high-steps” in his new boots! He makes us laugh every day.

He has some minor food guarding behaviors, and some separation anxiety when we are gone, which we’re working on

He has the most genuine, soulful eyes—one look into them and your heart will just melt. He would be the most amazing companion for almost anyone! He is such a gem of a dog!

* Pete would do best in a home without shared walls, as he can be a bit vocal when talking to those darn squirrels!

*Pete has a congenital heart defect termed subaortic stenosis (SAS). His status is considered mild at this time and no treatment is needed. It is recommended he have a recheck echocardiogram in 24 months to reassess his status. it does not affect his quality of life and will not shorten his life expectancy. There is a good chance that it will not progress and will stay at the mild form.*

When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care.

Long Distance Adoptions: Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. We require a meet of the pet prior to adoption, which means coming to MARS. We do not transport to potential adopters.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.

Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed.

If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
