About Peggy

Peggy is a delightful girl who's housebroken and isn't shy about letting you know when she needs to go outside. She's friendly with other dogs during walks and does well on a leash, often looking back to check if you're still with her. Although we haven't seen her around cats or children yet, her affectionate nature suggests she could adapt well to a loving home. Peggy tends to gravitate towards people, enjoying moments of closeness, whether it's leaning against you or laying on your lap. While she may not be very into toys, a good bone or bully stick will keep her content. She's more of a couch potato but enjoys the occasional stroll or a run in an open grassy area. Peggy has a charming presence and loves to greet people, always eliciting smiles with her adorable face. While she does experience some separation anxiety, this can be worked on with training. An ideal home for her would be with someone who can offer companionship, perhaps retired individuals looking for a gentle friend. She's ready for a loving family to call her own—she just wants to be cherished. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
