About Lil Petey

**PLEASE READ LIL PETEY'S BIO THOROUGHLY BEFORE INQUIRING. THANK YOU** This is our adorable Lil Petey. Isn't he the cutest? Lil Petey is an almost 1 year old, male, Jack Russell/Chihuahua mix who is about 9lbs, that came to us from a home that kept him in their backyard 24/7. They brought him once and when he went potty inside, they threw him back out, never letting him in. He spent days and nights all by himself alone and scared. Luckily a neighbor reached out to us saying that the owner wanted him gone. Lil Petey is now safe and loved in his foster home where he is getting all the attention and more. We need a VERY VERY specific home for this little guy. He is VERY scared when he comes into a new environment as he never knew what it was like to be in a safe warm home. When he first came to us, he sat on the couch and just peed directly where he was sitting in a complete fear mode. He was terrified to leave that couch and when taken outside every few hours to get him used to going potty outside, he just sat there trembling in fear and would not go to the bathroom. This went on for weeks, but little by little he is learning to follow the other dogs lead and go outside to go potty. It is a VERY slow process and his new owners must realize this, be willing to work with him, and not give up after a few days or even a few weeks. If this could be even a possible issue, then he's not the pup for you. Another issue is that he is TERRIFIED to leave the house so we only want to place in a home where the owners are ok with a dog that does not need to go on walks or be taken out and about. He is a homebody dog and just wants to hang out at home. We CAN'T place him in a home that wants to walk a dog or take the dog with them on errands, etc. He will be and can be a flight risk. He definitely needs another sweet and loving dog to help guide him through life and a smaller breed would be best as he is scared of big dogs. An adult only home would be the best thing for our nervous little guy. He is a great eater and we want a home that will feed him a good high quality dry food and incorporate some home cooking (boiled chicken, etc) into his meals. We DO NOT want him crated at all. Lil Petey is one special pup who just needs a non chaotic home that will nurture him with time, love and patience. WE ONLY ADOPT IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AS AN IN PERSON HOME CHECK AND TRIAL PERIOD ARE REQUIRED. Lil Petey is microchipped, vaccinated and neutered.
