Pet of the Week: Playful Pete

Playful Pete is looking for a lifelong, loving home. He is available for adoption from Paws for Life Rescue.

Hi! My name is Pete. I'm a super silly, friendly, happy-go-lucky clown. I love to run and play with my toys. I throw them up in the air, pounce on them, carry them around - self entertaining. I have a blast all on my own. I like it when someone throws a ball for me and I chase it down, but I don't usually bring it back. That fetch thing is for retrievers. I'm a very loving boy and super quiet. I only bark if I have something to say. I enjoy other dogs but I don't have to live with one.

I'm very active, energetic and playful. I would love to have a jogging partner or go camping in the warm weather. I like to exercise. I'm a smart dog and a people pleaser. I learn quick and I listen. I am focused and responsive, which makes training with me lots of fun cause I'm good at it and I enjoy it. I know when it's time to work and I will look at you and wait for my command. I know "sit" and "lie down." I want a leader, someone to look to for direction and instruction. The routine and consistency is good for me and makes me feel safe, secure and balanced. I walk well on a leash if that's what you want me to do, but I'll pull you down the road too if you don't take charge.

I am housetrained and crate trained. I will walk right into my crate when I'm asked, even when I don't want to go in there. I have an upbeat, happy and joyful kind of spirit - a personality that will brighten everyone's day. My happiness is contagious. You can't help but smile and laugh when you're with me. I'm just that kind of lovable goofball. Please give me a home to call me own. Adoption fee: $75 and includes vaccinations and neuter.
