About Petey:

I am a very playful puppy with a goofy personality and lots of energy. You will find me to be very sweet, and I love to cuddle and give lots of kisses. I am still teething, so I will need a lot of chewable treats and toys I can safely chew on.

About Gibbs:

I was found living on a porch in a wire crate in the cold weather. The rescue folks noticed I was crying with my arms around my brother to keep warm. Not surprisingly, we are bonded and must be adopted together. We are safe and warm waiting for our forever home! Due to my small size, I can't live in a home where there are young children present.

I am Gibbs' brother, and, as you just read, we were found crying and holding each other to keep warm on in a crate on a cold porch.
