About Peaches

Meet Peaches! This 10-pound female Dachshund mix is currently living in a foster home in Pembroke, MA, after arriving through Hanover Animal Control. Peaches has a sweet and cuddly personality, with a moderate level of activity. Initially nervous, she quickly found comfort in her foster family's care. Now, she’s quite attached to them, following her foster everywhere. She loves burrowing into jackets and blankets, snuggling, and being part of family activities outdoors. While Peaches is making strides in her house training, she still needs a little guidance. Her foster is attuned to her signs that she needs to go outside. Crate comfort is also a work in progress; she has shown improvement but may whine briefly before settling down for the night. On walks, Peaches is eager and walks well on a leash, though she may bark at unexpected visitors or people outside until she calms down. She is also a great car rider. Peaches gets along well with gentle dogs and might thrive in a household with another small canine companion, though it’s not a requirement. With gentle children, she could adapt nicely, fostering safe interactions. She once met a cat and behaved well. Her meals have included home-cooked ingredients, and her adopter should be committed to maintaining her diet with input from a veterinarian. Peaches has a clever streak; she can open doors that aren’t fully secured, so her future home will need to ensure that gates and doors are secure. Peaches is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations with no known medical issues. This clever little girl would do best in a loving home with patience, providing cuddles and outdoor time, along with continuing her training. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let’s get started.
