Meet Peaches, a sweet and resilient 53-lb hound who has weathered more hardship than any dog should — yet her spirit remains gentle, hopeful, and full of love. This beautiful middle-aged girl has experienced the harshness of life, knowing many litters and very little comfort, but despite everything, she’s ready to embrace the future where she can finally be cherished. 🌟💖 Once abandoned in Kentucky and left to survive outdoors, Peaches has done her best with only occasional human interaction. Many ordinary "house dog" skills are brand new to her — not because she’s unwilling, but because she never had the chance to learn what it feels like to truly belong. Now safe in her foster home, she’s blossoming more every day, showing us just how much she wants to bond and thrive. 🌼🌈 Peaches gets along well with other dogs, especially calm, friendly ones, but she would do best in a home without small children. This isn’t out of aggression, mind you, but because she’s still navigating healthy boundaries after a lifetime of uncertainty. She feels safest pottying in a fenced yard rather than on walks. This is quite common in dogs who haven't experienced the coziness of a home before! A secure yard helps her settle in at her own pace. And did we mention? When her humans leave, Peaches absolutely adores having a comfy crate of her own. It’s the perfect little sanctuary for her as she builds trust, knowing her people will always come back. 🏡🐾 Upon arriving in NJ, Peaches learned she needed treatment for heartworm and Lyme disease, along with surgery for her ureter. Through it all, this brave girl remained loving and charming, winning over everyone at the vet with her quiet gratitude. Thankfully, she is now healthy — a true testament to her resilience! 🩺💪 Peaches' ideal adopters will be patient, gentle, and preferably experienced dog owners. These are the kind of folks who understand that healing takes time and find joy in helping a once-forgotten dog learn what it means to be safe and loved. If your heart feels a call to help this deserving soul finally experience security, compassion, and a true forever home, Peaches may be the perfect match for you! 🎉💞 This lovable lady is so ready for her second chance — and trust us, she has so much love to give! It’s time to take that step towards bringing joy and a furry friend into your life. Peaches is waiting for *you* to apply to adopt her through the Buddy App! Don’t hesitate; the love of your life might just be a click away!
