Pete was minutes away from euthanasia in a California shelter when we stepped in to help him. We were told he was a pug mix, but we would call him an English Bulldog mix. We agree there is probably some pug in there, but he looks like a bulldog and acts like one! Pete weighs about 40 lbs. He is estimated to be 5 years old. Pete is a total sweetheart who wants to be your best friend and will gladly cuddle you at any time of day. He has had excellent vet care since coming in including dental, airway, and ear surgery to remove a growth from inside his right ear.

Pete enjoys cuddling, eating, and playing with a bulldog appropriate ball or Kong donut. He likes neighborhood walks in nice weather, particularly when it is dry and under 70. When he wants to go a different direction or pause, he’ll let you know by pumping the breaks and staring stubbornly. He’s treat and human motivated, though.

Pete is friendly to any creature he sees and likes to play with other dogs. Although, he can get a bit bossy and rough for some dog’s tastes, so an only dog home or with a bulldog experienced human(s) who can manage interactions with others would be ideal.

Pete has made great strides at potty training while in our care, and needs someone who can continue to work on this with patience, treats, and words of affirmation. With one eye and reduced hearing in his right ear, Pete gets around ok and responds well, but is still working on stairs and does best when there’s a light on or the sun is out. He is amenable to being carried and needs to be lifted in and out of cars.

He does great with grooming, including teeth brushing, When left alone in a crate with the TV on, he cries for a bit, then settles and snoozes.

Pete does have allergy issues which have been untreated for probably his whole life and this has left him with some ear problems. He will need to continue care with a dermatologist to keep his ears healthy and feeling his best. We have done all the hard work getting him cleaned up, now he just needs someone to keep up with the maintenance!

Pete is a total show stopper, great looking and friendly dog who someone will be very lucky to welcome into their home!
