About Peaches

Peaches is a 2-year-old, 55-pound Black Mouth Cur/Labrador Retriever mix who landed in rescue after her previous owner was incarcerated. Safe now in foster care, Peaches is crate trained, housebroken, and walks nicely on a harness. Her foster says she’d make a great jogging buddy thanks to her high energy—this dog needs daily, committed exercise routines. A fenced yard isn’t required, but walks, playtime, and activities are a must. Peaches thrives when given structure and is eager to please, food-motivated, and loves affection. She’s done well with dogs and adult humans in foster but hasn’t been tested with cats or children yet. Peaches is currently heartworm positive; her treatment is covered by the rescue and adopters will consult with medical staff to understand her care plan. She’s up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and ready for a fresh start. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
