gram is: Wallflower: Shy yet charming canine searching for patient owner with relaxed lifestyle. Looking for gentle guidance to help me come out of my shell. Treat me sweet and kind and I’ll blossom. Peaches is about 1-year old & petite at only 28lbs. Our little baby girl was abused so she is nervous at first meeting new people so she will require a family that has experience with abused dogs. She warms up as soon as she realizes you want to be friends. With her foster family, she’s very sweet, gentle & her eyes look so happy & she is a major wiggle butt. Again, once she is comfortable she loves everyone & plays all day with my foster dogs. Early on she showed she had a funny quirk. I keep really large water bowls outside in the yard. We found her putting her whole HEAD in the water bowl with complete joy. Now we have a large pool (video below) & once we put it out & filled it up she hasn’t been out of it since. She stands in the pool, dunks her head & her whole body. It would be great if she were adopted in a home with a pool or at least a family who is willing to buy her the biggest kiddie that you can. I would like to add this new information to Peaches resume' -- Peaches just showed me that she has bug-catching skills – I really appreciate when I get a "bug-catcher" which give me one less thing to do! My poor Peaches had a really rough like in KY. There is a photo of her at the shelter below, you can see she was terrified. I see their photos in the shelter & it just breaks my heart to see what humans do to innocent, helpless animals. I decided to bring her to my rescue & I knew I could help her trust again. She was abused & sometimes still barks at men & it takes her a few minutes to realize no one will ever hurt her again. The shelter dropped her off at Vet’s office so they could get her spayed & up to date with all her shots. They noticed right away that she had a bloody stool which is often an indication of a really nasty disease Parvo. She was very, very sick for close to a week but day by day she started to recover. Sadly during those early weeks, she was contagious (she is NOT now) so I could not get her a transport to DE. She had to just sit in a dog kennel at the Vet's office for 5 weeks! How she didn’t go crazy because it had to feel like being in jail -- but this shows what a sound disposition she has. When she arrived at my home, she was beyond joyous when she realized she could go outside in my fenced in yard, run & play with her foster siblings & just be free! If she sounds like the kind of little girl that you would love to have in your life please read our adoption requirements & if you can meet or exceed that you can apply on this website.
