My boyfriend and I adopted Peter, a black Lab and Greyhound mix, in the fall of 2017. Peter had already been through three owners at one year old and kept getting returned to the shelter because he was “too energetic.” We thought that Peter would be a perfect match for our very active lifestyle, and we were right.

We’ve had Peter for almost a year now, and he is the biggest baby on the planet who loves trips to the dog park, runs through the park, peanut butter snacks, and LOTS of belly rubs! Peter’s big news is that he is now an ESA and will be going through service dog training soon! I encourage anyone to adopt an animal who might need a little bit of work because the results are very rewarding! It is amazing how well animals respond to owners who love and cherish their companionship.
