🍑 Peaches & Cream 🍦
Some dogs arrive at rescue knowing exactly how to be part of a family. Peaches & Cream arrived needing to learn what that even meant.
We believe this sweet girl may have spent most, if not all, of her life outdoors before coming to rescue. The world inside a home was completely new to her—things like toys, cozy beds, house rules, and even having people who loved her unconditionally.
Since then, Peaches & Cream has absolutely blossomed in her foster home.
She has discovered that being loved is pretty wonderful and has become a sweet, talkative little companion who wants to be wherever her people are. If you get up, she's likely getting up too! This girl loves to follow her humans around and happily serve as their loyal shadow.
Peaches & Cream can be a little shy when meeting new people, but with patience and kindness, she quickly starts to show her affectionate personality. Having another confident dog in the home helps her feel secure, so she would do best with a canine buddy to show her the ropes.
She is great with other dogs and does well with kids. As she's learning how to be an indoor dog, she's still working on potty training and figuring out which items are toys and which are definitely not for chewing. She's making progress every day and just needs a family willing to continue teaching her.
When Peaches & Cream first arrived, she had some areas of hair loss that suggested she hadn't had the easiest start in life. With proper care and treatment, her beautiful coat is growing back nicely, and so is her confidence.
If you're looking for a gentle, loving companion who will follow you from room to room and reward your patience with endless devotion, Peaches & Cream may be the perfect addition to your family.

Something to Consider:
Puppies don't train themselves
If you aren’t willing to train a puppy every single day, don’t get a puppy! It isn’t a one-shot deal. You have to be dedicated. And if you aren’t making progress – find someone who can help. Enroll in a puppy training class or hire a trainer. Most cities across the nation have some sort of availability for this kind of help and at different cost levels that would fit your budget.
Puppies are going to poop a lot and pee even more; chew on everything; bite everyone; scratch people and furniture; steal things; destroy something at some point; pull on the leash; not move at all on the leash; bark; cry; beg for attention; and the list goes on. You’re going to have to walk them, bathe them, pick up everything below waist height, buy new shoes, and most importantly: TRAIN THE PUPPY NOT TO DO THESE THINGS! Ultimately, it is your responsibility to teach your puppy that this behavior is unacceptable.
Puppies turn into dogs...
