PEACHES - I PROMISE, I AM BEAUTIFUL! - PIT BULL TERRIER / LABRADOR RETRIEVER / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier / Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat). Have you ever seen such a hopeful face? Peaches may not be beautiful on the outside at the moment but she is a beauty inside and one day soon we will see her radiance! Peaches is looking for a home. Peaches is with our partner rescue in NC but can come to NJ if we find a foster or adopter. We do offer a foster to adopt trial for approved adopters. Peaches and some other puppies, probably her siblings, were found with mange. They are in foster homes and being treated which is actually very simple. Most of your standard monthly flea/tick medication controls the mites that cause mange and their fosters give them medicated baths once a week or so to help that skin heal and the fur return. Mange is one of those things that doesn't look great but it isn't a scary puppy illness. Time, love and simple meds do the fix. Peaches is in foster with Cleo and she is doing great! She loves people and other dogs. She also has an affinity for toy hoarding as photographed. Peaches is up to date on vaccines. He tested negative for heartworm. If we find a foster or adopter, we will try to get Peaches fixed and microchipped before coming to NJ but we may need to fix her here. Her adoption fee is $550. Adopting a dog is a commitment that will require annual veterinary care at a minimum, training, exercise, enrichment, etc. Pet care is not cheap or easy and adopters should consider the costs, time and training prior to adoption. After all these dogs have been through they deserve a loving, committed home. Apply to foster or adopt wagoninn.rescuegroups
