Petey, a 7 year old male golden, has had a pretty rough life. When he was brought to us Petey was about 20 pounds underweight and every bone in his body was showing — his hip bones protruded so much that it should be a case of abuse. We had to shave Petey because his golden coat was so matted but it is growing out nicely. He even rubbed his nose raw when he was at the shelter. Petey was placed in a warm and loving foster home last November. Despite numerous adoption days and plenty of interest Petey remained with his foster family for month and months. Maybe it was obvious to all those people who met Petey that Petey simply was not interested in finding a new home. Petey was perfectly happy with his foster family and finally Petey’s foster dad gave into fate and decided to adopt the little guy. Petey’s half sister Lab is now his full sister Emma. No adjustments needed for this boy. Petey already knows his way around this forever home and no one plans for him to ever leave.
