About Peppermint Patty

Peppermint Patty is a delightful four-year-old, 21-pound cream-colored Wire Hair Fox Terrier mix. With her fluffy ears and gentle demeanor, she quickly captures hearts. Her journey has been filled with twists; she was originally found with another dog and brought to Maricopa County Animal Care & Control. After a brief adoption with an older couple, she was returned when they struggled to address her behavioral challenges. Luckily, she's been given another chance at Home Fur Good. Peppermint Patty is sweet with people and gets along well with other dogs. Though she may bark from her kennel, she instantly warms up and reveals her affectionate side once given the opportunity. She's seeking a family that will guide her positively and help her flourish. Her adoption fee is sponsored and includes spay surgery, vaccinations, microchipping, and a complimentary wellness visit at Phoenix Mountain Animal Hospital. Ready to connect with this lovely girl?
