Peter (New Digs)

Meet Peter: Professional Cuddlebug, Part-Time Goofball, Full-Time Good Boy

Peter is a 3-year-old, 55-pound pit mix with a permanent smile, a constantly wagging tail, and a very serious commitment to cuddling. If you’ve ever wanted a dog who flops onto his back like an overturned turtle just to be closer to you, congratulations, you’ve found him.

Peter adores adults and lives for human companionship. He’s affectionate, gentle, and completely unbothered if you take food or toys right out of his mouth. He already knows how to sit on cue, loves fetch, tug-of-war, and flirt pole sessions, and after burning off his zoomies, he’s happy to settle in for quality couch time.

Important fine print, delivered lovingly: Peter wants to be your one and only dog at home. He does well in neutral environments like dog parks and boarding facilities, but in a home setting he prefers to be the sole recipient of attention. Think “only child energy,” not “mean,” just selective about roommates.

House training is about 70%% complete. Peter doesn’t give a lot of bathroom warnings yet, so he needs a proactive human, but he tries hard to hold it, doesn’t mark, and is not destructive indoors. Furniture is safe. Pillows are safe. Your lever-style door handles, however, should be watched closely. Peter is very smart and has figured out how doors work.

On the practical side:
• Neutered male
• Vaccines up to date
• Microchipped
• Rides well in the car
• Leash skills improving nicely
• Has stayed at Pet Paradise with a good report card
• High energy but responsive and eager to please

Peter would thrive in a home where he can be the center of someone’s world, get regular exercise, and receive the affection he gives out so freely.

If you’re looking for a loyal, goofy, people-loving companion who will happily share your couch, your heart, and possibly your personal space, Peter is ready to meet you. 💛
