About Prospect Pete La (Dachshund) in Boonton, NJ 07005

Prospect Pete La is waiting for you at Northstar Pet Rescue in Boonton, NJ 07005. PROSPECT PETE: Tiny Dog. Massive Feelings. Absolutely No Men. Prospect Pete is a 5-year-old miniature Dachshund who was found wandering the streets of Louisiana looking like life had thoroughly kicked his little wiener-dog ass. When NorthStar took him in, Pete was skinny, covered in hair loss, had double ear infections, needed a dental, had a growth on his chest, and frankly looked like he’d been through several terrible life choices and at least one bad relationship. The good news? His body is healing. The bad news? Pete has apparently decided that men are canceled. We can’t know exactly what happened to him during his first five years, but we’re pretty certain a man failed this little guy in a big way. Pete would very much like to file for a lifetime restraining order against the male gender and is currently accepting applications from women only. His ideal home consists of: ✔ Women. ✔ More women. ✔ Another friendly dog. ✔ Snacks. ✔ Soft voices. ✔ Someone who is home a lot. ✔ Absolutely no dudes trying to “win him over.” Pete doesn’t bite men. He doesn’t attack men. He simply looks at them and says, “No thank you, sir. I’ve had enough.” He adores other dogs and apparently every anxious little dachshund needs an emotional support dog. He loves toys, running in the yard, car rides, and being close to his person. He sleeps quietly in his crate when he knows you’re nearby because, like many of us, he simply wants reassurance that everyone isn’t leaving him forever. Now, let’s discuss the elephant in the room: Pete is not housebroken. There. We said it. Pete wears a belly band because sometimes his feelings get bigger than his bladder. He uses potty pads when available, goes outside with encouragement, and continues to work on his life skills. He’s basically a middle-aged man who refuses therapy but is making small improvements. He also hates cats, so if you own a cat, Pete
