About Peaches

She's around nine years old now, and a simple, affordable medication keeps her condition in check. Her fur might not ever return fully, but Peaches doesn’t let that dampen her spirit. She craves car rides, chases toys with surprising gusto, and gets a huge boost of happiness from playing with other dogs. A fenced yard would be perfect for her so she can romp safely. Peaches gets along well with other dogs, cats, and children, making her a fit for many types of families. She’s house trained, spayed, and current on her vaccines. Take a look at her story—Peaches is waiting for someone ready to offer her the comfort and love she’s missed for far too long. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
