About Peggy

Peggy is a housebroken dog who’s quite vocal when she needs to go out. She loves her walks and is friendly with other dogs she meets along the way. While we haven’t observed her with cats or children yet, she has a calm demeanor and is very good on a leash, making sure to check in with her walker. Peggy understands commands like sit, stay, and lay down, showcasing her intelligence. She adores being close to people, often leaning against them or lounging nearby. Peggy isn’t overly playful with toys, but she enjoys chewing on a good bone or bully stick. Her laid-back nature makes her a perfect companion for a quiet household—she’s a true couch potato but enjoys occasional runs in open grass. Despite her charming and affectionate personality, Peggy does experience some separation anxiety, which could improve with training. The ideal home for her would be one where she receives plenty of love and attention, perhaps with older adults who can appreciate her gentle company. Her sweet demeanor and adorable expressions make her a joy to have around. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
