About Bo Peep

Bo Peep was lucky to make it out of a crowded Georgia shelter and now rests easy in a foster home in Fairfax, VA. There, she slips right into the mix—quiet, gentle, and an easy presence. At 7 years old and about 55 lbs, she has mastered calm company and makes herself home without fuss. Bo Peep is house trained, has great manners inside, and walks nicely on leash. She gets along well with other dogs and shows a gentle approach with children, though she isn’t well-suited for homes with cats due to her keen interest in them.
