About Peggy

Peggy is housebroken and lets you know when she needs to go outside. She’s friendly with other dogs on walks and is great on the leash—she doesn't pull and checks back to ensure you're with her. Though we haven't seen her around cats or children, she's affectionate and loves being close to people, often leaning against you or lying down beside you. Peggy enjoys a good bone or bully stick, though she’s more of a couch potato than a toy player. She likes her walks but will certainly be content lounging around. She has a trustful nature and thrives on attention and affection. Her sweet, charming personality shines through, and people can’t help but comment on how cute she is. While she does show some signs of separation anxiety, this can improve with training. Peggy would do well in a loving home, perhaps with older, retired individuals. She's not overly active and enjoys the company of others. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
