**** Help Petey Find His Forever Home ****

Hi everyone! Remember me from last year? It's been one heck of a past few months. It all started in August-- I don't know what hit me, but I ended up in a field where a nice lady named, Kelly, came to help me. My back leg wouldn't hold my weight and I was stuck there doing my best to fend for myself. Good thing she came. I was about to give up.

She called the officers at Guadalupe County Animal Control to come save me. She said I was so sweet and happy in spite of my injury. They couldn't get me at first, but Kelly didn't give up until I was safe.

The volunteers, Ms. Karin and Ms. Susan, saw how bad my injury was and contacted a Voice for Animals rescue. They didn't hesitate and accepted me right away. Before I knew it, they had an experienced foster for me (Ms. Darlene) and I was in surgery before I could say, "thank you for saving my life."

I had a very big surgery called femoral head ostectomy (FHO). Turns out I also had a dislocated femur. Whatever hit me, hit me pretty hard.

Well, it's been quite a journey from being another injured dog left in a field with pretty grim prospects to a happy guy well on his way to recovery.

Now I'm ready for my forever home. I'm all caught up on my vetting. Got neutered and all my shots. My new foster mom, Ms. Traci, says I'm the happiest guy who loves everyone. I'm gentle and sweet and an inspiration to people who know how far I've come in a short period of time.

Everyone along the line took such good care of me to prepare me for this moment in time. Please help me find my forever home.

I'm a really special boy. I even have my own page here https://www.facebook.com/PeteyWantsAHome/

You can look there to follow my entire journey from the field to today. There's even a video of me there that shows how well I'm walking now.

You can PM this page if you have questions about me or you can apply to adopt me here https://airtable.com/shrPxZ5NfIVMXt5Pk

Please share my story. Maybe it will touch someone's heart and they will welcome me in.

Thank you,
Petey

This is me walking after surgery. My first step to recovery. My foster mom was so kind and patient with me. I wanted to try extra hard just for her.

I went directly from GCAC to the vet to have my surgery. It was a pretty big deal and I came through like a champ. Turns out I had to have a femoral head ostectomy (FHO) AND my femur was dislocated. They finally figured all that out and I'm on my way to healing. I had to wear this blue thing. I think I look like a flower, but it seemed to help me get better quicker.

Here's my freedom ride. The volunteers worked so hard to get me out because they saw how I hurt. I loved them all and gave big kisses. They couldn't believe how sweet and happy I was even though I was in pain. I was so grateful for their help. They found a Voice for Animals Rescue who welcomed me into their rescue, bad leg and all.

That's me hiding in the field. I was trying to keep myself safe, but I really needed help.

This is how my journey began. I was so scared and I really hurt. Thank goodness for Kelly. She wouldn't quit until I was safe.
