MEET PETEY
At 10 years young, Petey is a sweet, lovable Basset Hound who needs a special person or family willing to open their heart and home to him.
Petey is blind and has Cushing's disease, but that doesn't stop him from being a wonderful dog who deserves love, comfort, and a safe place to call home.
We want to be upfront about Petey's needs. Because of his medical condition, he urinates frequently and needs to wear diapers. His foster or adoptive family will need to be understanding, patient, and comfortable helping him with his daily care.
The good news?
Guardian Angel Basset Rescue can cover his expenses if needed. We don't want the financial responsibility to stand in the way of finding this sweet boy the home he deserves.
Petey needs either a foster home or a permanent home. Most of all, he needs someone who will love him just the way he is.
We know Petey isn't the right fit for every household. But we also know there is someone out there with a big enough heart to give this special senior the comfort, kindness, and security he deserves.
Could you be Petey's special someone?
Please contact Guardian Angel Basset Rescue if you are interested in fostering or adopting Petey. Drop an email to Emmy Little at emmy@bassetrescue.org.
Even if you can't take Petey in, sharing his story might help us find the person who can!

FOSTER PROGRAM
The purpose of a foster home is to provide a home environment while evaluating the dog's behavior around other dogs, children, and to observe the dog's personality, attitude and temperament. Most dogs need help with something, whether it's house-training, separation anxiety, shyness, jumping on people or just plain house manners. Our fosters help them to become better pets and more adoptable. They are not expected to handle the more serious problems the dogs sometimes have. We have professional trainers who will help the dog through that stage.
