Meet Petey, a 2-and-a-half-year-old purebred English Springer Spaniel who weighs 55 pounds. He loves to run, play catch, and chew on his toys.
Petey has a mild case of anxiety that manifests itself in a few different ways: he doesn't like loud noises or yelling, and he may snap at your hand if you try to touch his head or take away one of his possessions.
However, he is otherwise a sweet boy who loves being around people and playing with other dogs.
We believe that Petey will be happiest in a calmer home without children.
