 BOCA RATON – Cute, huh? Yep, I’m gonna keep flashing these big eyes at everyone until someone wises up and adopts me

 I’m Petey, a fox terrier mix, a 2 and a half year old neutered male weighing 20 pounds.

 It’s not easy being a little guy in a big shelter and so I act a little defensive.  I really need to settle into a home with consistent love and care after the past I’ve had (I’m not talking about it).

 Because of my fears and past experience, I need a home without kids, cats or other dogs.  Yes, I want ALL your love and I’ll be a great little lap-warmer for some lucky person.  Oh, and I can do this really cute ‘stand’ position for treats.  Are you the right match for me?  Let’s meet and find out.

 I’m available for adoption at Tri-County Humane Society, a no-kill animal shelter located at 21287 Boca Rio Road in Boca Raton.
