About Peaches

Click apply to start the adoption process. Peaches is a sweet brindle, medium-sized Cattle Dog/Border Collie mix, about one year old and weighing around 45–50 pounds. Raised in a barn along with her brothers Peanut and Pecan, Peaches started off shy due to her feral mom, but she has gradually warmed up thanks to caring volunteers. Among her siblings, Peaches is the least shy—she especially enjoys interacting with her favorite people and is happiest with other dogs, often socializing and relaxing with a group of young pups her own size out on a spacious patio. Her confidence shines brightest when she's surrounded by her canine friends, making her a wonderful companion for a multi-dog home. She is fully vaccinated, spayed, microchipped, and has received plenty of love, socialization, and daily walks during her time at the rescue. All adoptees from Beagles & Buddies leave with a complimentary leash, collar, and their full medical records, making the transition to their new home as smooth as possible. Peaches would do best in a home where she can continue to be around other dogs and keep building her confidence with people.
