Meet Petey. Up for Adoption.

Petey Petey was brought in after he was found tied up but we believe he was probably abandoned. Petey is a great dog, young, handsome, friendly - what more could you ask for! Petey quickly found a home but has sadly been returned because he was too much for his owners to manage. Petey is a fun-loving, enteusiastic boy but he is also an adolescent and as a result he is always pushing the boundaries and quite simply doesn't know his own strength. His previous home mentioned that he was far more responsive to men than women which is important for anyone wishing to adopt him. As a young boy, he will need somebody home for most of the day and he is also going to need an experienced home who will help him to calm down and behave sensibly in a home. Petey also needs a home with no young children as he can be mouthy when excited. He will be a fun dog, that will entertain you and make a great companion with someone who can dedicate the time into settling him down. Petey's Update 2/1/13: Petey is finally settling into kennels life and he realy is a lovely young boy! He is very energetic and you have to have quick wits in order to keep up with him, but if you have the energy to match his he really will make a wonderfully entertaining friend! Petey is certainly not a family dog as he is very boisterous and quite mouthy at times. He would best suit an active home where someone has the patience and kindness to help him de-stress and relax into a normal way of life. This won't happen overnight but this lovely boy is really worth it!

Deed not breed.

I have just seen this on  facebook  and thought i would share it here, it is so true.

I thought this poster was so true. When will people stop condemning dogs just because of there breed. Staffordshire bull terriers aka (Staffies) were called nanny dogs for one reason and that was because they were so good with children. But thanks to a few mindless irresponsible idiots who use them as so called status dogs or suffer from small penis syndrome because they think a Staffy will make them look all tough. They have now got a bad reputation.

I know a lot of my followers come from America and from reading there Blogs i know they have the same problem with Pitbulls in there country.

In my opinion i think it is totally wrong to prejudice certain breeds. Dogs aren't born aggressive it's us humans who make them that way. And it's about time the authorities realised that and acted accordingly.

There are no bad dogs only bad owners. One of my favourite sayings is a dog is only as good as the person on the other end of the lead.
