Petey and Rory (plus Geneva Finds a Home)

Three-year-old Petey, a Pitbull mix, was abandoned by his owner just before New Year’s Day.

 He was found tied up in front of a grooming business that had closed down.

“He had a note on his collar saying that the dog had always felt comfortable at the place – I guess the owner didn’t know the shop had closed,” said Sean Casey, founder of Sean Casey Animal Rescue, where a Good Samaritan brought the shivering dog.

 Petey is timid around people at first, Casey said.

 “He cowers and shies away,” he said. “But after a few minutes of talking to him he’s jumping into your lap.

 Also ready for adoption is 2-year-old Rory, an orange tomcat.

 Rory was found a month ago with burned paws from having stepped in some sort of chemical. After a month with wrapped paws he’s nearly healed and ready to be taken home.

 Like Petey, Rory is shy at first, but quickly comes around, Casey aid.

 Meanwhile, on Saturday found a home. She was adopted by a family in Park Slope during an adoption event in front of Animal Kind Veterinary Hospital on Seventh Avenue.

 Petey and Rory are spayed, dewormed, treated to prevent fleas & ticks and are up to date with vaccinations. The adoption fee, $100 for cats and $200 for dogs, which includes a veterinary exam, one free month of pet health insurance and a microchip.
