Peaches is a mellow girl who enjoys sleeping at your feet or following at your heels. She is very polite on leash, is offleash trained, and loves to visit Cherry Creek Offleash Dog Park, where she will bound around along side you. She is good with dogs of all sizes and ages. She is very trainable, and has already learned the hand signals for sit and shake (and also responds to the verbal commands). She comes when called. She is an absolute sweetheart (just like her brother) and has perfected the art of "puppy eyes". As a result of which she is a bit overweight (just needs to loose three pounds at this point) and is shedding the weight quickly. She follows her foster mom around the house while Jack rests, tired from his outings, on the bed they share. She would also make a great hiking companion!
Because these two have been together all their lives, they cannot be separated. They are very closely bonded, and would be miserable without each other. Besides, two seniors are better than one!
Rescue Group Info...
We are a new organization founded in memory of an eight year old black German Shepherd/Chow named Cayleb. His story is a sad one, but one that inspired our founder to save others like him. He was taken in as a lost dog to a county shelter, and after three long months, he was beginning to reach the end of his given time. When our founder peered into his kennel, he looked intimidating and scared. She couldn't resist adopting him. As soon as he got outside, he started giving kisses, and happily hopped in the back seat of the car without hesitation. Cayleb quickly became best friends with the founder's current dog (a very dog shy poodle), as well as with everyone he met.
Unfortunately, after a month of morning runs and trips to the dog park, Cayleb began to go down hill quickly. When x-rayed, an inoperable mass was found in his liver, and our founder had to make the tough decision to let him go on July 13th, 2012.
A few weeks later, Cayleb's Kindred Senior Dog Rescue was formed, to help all of Cayleb's "kindred spirits" find loving homes to live out the rest of their days in.
We have had dogs as old as 20 years old in our rescue, and as young as 8. We have all breeds, from Dachshunds to Mastiffs, Coonhounds to Wirehaired Pointing Griffons.
We love our seniors, and hope to spread that love with everyone else!
