Hi! My name is Peach, and I'm starting to settle in after spending a week with my foster family. I'm still a bit nervous when I meet new people-especially men-so I need some time to feel comfortable and safe with new faces. I might bark or growl at first, but I haven't shown any aggression. I don't like being left alone, so a home where someone is around most of the time would be ideal for me. I'm not a fan of the crate and tend to panic a bit when closed in. I've also been known to do a little "counter surfing" and believe that finders are keepers, so for everyone's sake, it's best to keep tempting things out of reach! I go for three to four walks every day to practice my leash manners and build my confidence around new people. That's helped a lot-and I haven't had any potty issues in the house! I really enjoy the company of the resident dog here. He's teaching me to trust people, sit for treats, walk nicely on a leash, and be part of a family. We play together, which helps burn off my bursts of puppy energy-even though I'm almost three years old! When he's not in the mood to play, I can happily entertain myself with a toy. Tennis balls are the best! Shared walls aren't ideal for me - I tend to bark when I hear unfamiliar or unexpected noises. At night, my favorite place to sleep is near my humans-definitely in the same room, but ideally right next to you in bed. Once I feel safe and snuggled in, I'll curl up close and snore softly beside you. Peach was found as a stray.
