About Peachie

Peachie lives up to her sunny name. Born in February, she's a young pup full of spark, always happy to meet new faces—humans, dogs, or cats alike. Social and outgoing, she doesn't hesitate to work a room or make a playground out of the backyard, her can-do spirit matched only by her cleverness. Peachie learns fast, thrives on praise, and will quickly show off her new tricks or join in a spirited game of fetch. Interactive games, toys, and the occasional dress-up never fail to bring out her playful enthusiasm. This medium-sized, tricolor (brown, black, and white) shepherd/cattle dog mix fits smoothly into any family routine. She’s house trained, crate trained, and adapts well among children and other pets. Peachie’s the kind of dog who zooms with joy and then curls up beside you at night. Raised with lots of social time, she’s not shy about making friends, and her eagerness to please—and snuggle—makes her a great match for almost any household. Currently fostered in Brookeville, MD, Peachie is ready to travel for the right adopter. Your new best friend could be just a ride away. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
