About Peter's Breed:
Our best guess is that Peter is a Yorkie mix. The Yorkshire Terrier, or "Yorkie," is a tiny toy breed with a big personality, known for being affectionate, lively, and confident. Despite their small size, they carry themselves with boldness and charm, often described as having a "big dog attitude in a little body." Yorkies are famous for their long, silky coats, which require regular grooming, and they thrive on companionship, making them devoted lap dogs as well as spirited playmates.



Peter recently had dental work and is now healthy, happy, and ready to shine in his forever home! He's potty trained, crate trained, and trustworthy outside of his crate, making him an easy companion. Despite his age, Peter has plenty of energy—he loves to run, play, and explore the yard with his foster doggie siblings. He's also great on a leash and enjoys daily walks, plus he rides well in the car, making him the perfect little travel buddy!
