The grin on the face of a recently adopted canine warmed the souls of his saviors, who had tirelessly advocated for him to be chosen after being persistently ignored. Petey, having hailed from a bustling shelter in North Carolina and later transferred to SPCA Wake in early October due to being continuously passed by potential adopters, was joyously reported by SPCA of Wake County to have found his forever home.
Having held the title of the longest-staying canine at the county’s shelter, and being only a year old, the rescue group was determined to help Petey locate his destined family.
With high hopes, SPCA Wake displayed his photos, anticipating that someone would be captivated by his eyes. Not long after, a family was smitten by his picture and knew they had to have him.
Once he was comfortably settled, the family gleefully shared snaps of Petey basking in the warmth of his new environment, engaging in playful antics with his new four-legged pal, and, most touching of all, a photo of him lounging with a contented grin.
The shelter couldn’t help but remark on Facebook, “That’s the grin of a pooch who realizes he’s found where he belongs.”
The new family gushed, “Petey’s adaptation to his new environment has been seamless.” He relishes the small joys like sprawling on the bed, chasing after toys, and exploring the scents in the garden. His interactions with his new pal and other furry friends he meets are delightful. We couldn’t have asked for a more fitting addition; his lovable demeanor shines through. We’re overjoyed to welcome him.”
And as for Petey? He’s beyond ecstatic to be a part of their lives.
