Story

Meet Peaches! Breed: staffordshire terrier mix. Age: approx 1 year, est birthdate 1/24/24. Weight: 30lbs currently, she is underweight and needs to gain a few pounds. She has a petite frame but we feel she should be 35-40lbs. Training: crate and leash trained, doing well with house training. Good with other dogs/cats? Yes to dogs, unsure about cats. Good with adults/kids? She can be timid/reserved at first, but that doesn't last long. She warms up to be very loyal and affectionate Personality: shy, but loving, friendly and playful. Reason for rescue: her mom was a feral dog that had pups under someone's house. She was adopted as a pup, and recently returned because her owner had hardships and needed to move where dogs weren't welcomed :(. Peaches is spayed, microchipped, heartworm negative, and current on vaccinations and preventatives. If interested in adding this sweet baby to your family, please message for an adoption application! Adoption fee: $75.March 23, 2025, 9:55 pm

Story

Ghost was adopted at 6 weeks old to add to our pack (other huskies are aged 5 and 10). He has been a great playful loving dog with high energy and did great in our first home with a very large high fenced in yard. Since moving and splitting with my partner after having our baby, he has escaped my chainlink fenced yard and does not get as much exercise resulting in residual high levels of energy I cannot accommodate as a single mother to a newborn and 2 other dogs. Ghost is a sweet boy and would do amazing in a home with other dogs and a huge fenced in yard to run in all day. I am happy to lower the adoption fee for the right home!
