Dogs – Happy to meet dog friends here at the shelter
Cats – Looking for a cat-free home
Kids – Ages 8+
Porky Pete is a little guy with big opinions, a big personality, and an even bigger love for his people. Once he knows you, his softer side comes out fast. He enjoys being close, loves a good cuddle, and seems very content being held or settled right in your lap. He also has a thing for stuffies, which is pretty darn adorable.
Porky Pete can be anxious with new people and busy surroundings, so he is looking for someone who understands that first impressions are not the whole story. Give him a little time and a little reassurance, and you'll see him relax and show you who he really is. Underneath all that worry is a dog who likes to be close to his person and clearly wants to feel safe.
He has a lot going for him, too. Porky Pete walks well on leash, knows quite a few commands, and clearly wants connection with the people he trusts. He is not a polished little social butterfly, and that is okay. He is a quirky, chatty, lovable guy who just needs the right person to understand him. Come meet Porky Pete and see if you might be the one he has been waiting to talk to.

Not Quite Ready To Adopt?
You can make an immeasurable impact by opening your home and your heart to an animal in need. Fostering is a great opportunity to introduce a pet into your home without making a lifelong commitment. Many of our foster humans end up adopting their fostered animals, but many also choose to just provide the temporary shelter and love our animals need to get through a trying time.
