Meet Texas Pete - Spoilet Alert- he's amazing
As the new year begins, Texas Pete is ready to turn the page and start the chapter he's been waiting for - one filled with love, security, and belonging. This sweet 8-year-old gentleman has a story of resilience, hope, and second chances written all over his soulful eyes.
Texas Pete came to us from Georgia worn down from years of neglect - thin, tired, and overlooked in the shelter because of his gray and white coat. But even through it all, Pete never stopped believing his time would come. Today, he's a healthy 75 pounds, has completed heartworm treatment, and is truly thriving. His gentle spirit shines just as brightly as ever, and his tail still wags with pure joy.
Pete is dog- and kid-friendly, though as a big, happy guy, he may offer a few enthusiastic hugs along the way. Cats, however, are not on his list for this next chapter.
He is house- and crate-trained, neutered, and up to date on vaccines. Pete rides beautifully in the car and handled his long journey to his foster home in Harrisburg, PA, like the gentleman he is - calm, patient, and grateful every mile of the way.
Don't let his age fool you - Texas Pete still has plenty of playful spark left. He loves all toys, but balls are his absolute favorite and bring out the puppy joy that still lives in his heart.
This new year, Texas Pete has just one resolution: to find a forever home where he can finally feel safe, cherished, and loved. If you're looking to begin the year with unconditional love and a loyal companion by your side, Pete is ready to make 2025 his best year yet.

We are PA Caring for K-9's, an all-breed dog rescue that is solely run by volunteers. Most of our dogs are rescued from high kill shelters in the South. If the dog is posted, they are still available! Once arriving, these dogs enter foster homes, as we do not have a shelter. We cannot adopt out dogs to a home with dogs that are not fixed or up to date on shots. If interested in adopting, please submit an application online at www.pack9rescue.org. Our adoption fee for altered dogs is $350 and goes directly to saving the lives of more dogs. Our adoption fee for unaltered puppies will be $400 which includes a refundable $50 deposit upon receipt of spay/neuter certificate. Learn more about adopting from us or volunteering for us at www.pack9rescue.org or check us out on Facebook for more information and a complete list of dogs available for adoption.
