My name is Peaches!

Meet Peaches, a sweet and resilient hound who has known more hardship than any dog should ever endure. While we may not know her exact age or weight, we estimate she’s a middle-aged adult, who’s seen more than her fair share of life’s struggles. She’s had many litters in the past, and it’s clear that her heart has always been filled with love, even if she’s never known a real home to call her own.

Peaches was either dumped in Kentucky or showed up on a property there some time ago, and since then, she’s been left to live outdoors, surviving in harsh conditions with little to no human care. The shelter that took her in is located outdoors as well, and with temperatures plunging below freezing, she’s in urgent need of warmth and safety.

Despite her rough past, Peaches is a gentle soul who gets along wonderfully with other dogs. Her heart is as kind as they come, and all she wants now is a chance to feel safe, loved, and cherished inside a warm home. She’s tired of the cold winds, the harsh weather, and the loneliness. She’s ready for a family to call her own—a family that will show her what it means to be loved and cared for.

If you think Peaches could be the perfect companion for you, please consider applying to adopt her at https://peace4paws.org/adoption-application. She deserves a second chance at life and the warmth of a loving home.
