About Peridot

Peridot is a lively puppy available for adoption, onsite Fridays and Saturdays. This sweetheart is part of a litter of five puppies who resemble Wire Haired Terriers. At just three months old, Peridot stands out as the largest puppy in his group but maintains a calm and gentle demeanor. His long, dark grey fur is a standout feature, and he plays well with his siblings, joining them in their favorite game of "chase."
