We primarily pull from shelters in the middle of nowhere, rural Florida. Underfunded and overburdened. Now matter how different these shelters are in size or location one thing remains the same - they are usually riddled with hound dogs at risk. Most of the hounds we see are in horrific condition after being used and abused as hunting dogs before being tossed aside for being too old, and even young adults for not being good at their “job”. Almost every trip to the shelter ends with a hound (or two) in our backseat because we’re a sucker for their floppy ears and trusting eyes despite how humans have treated them in the past. It’s obvious that most of these dogs have never experienced time in a home, and we are always so excited to show them just how wonderful life can be.
Peggy Sue’s story is different from most of the hounds we meet - she HAD a family and a home. And yet, she was STILL left behind like she was nothing, abandoned on their property until animal control found her.
We took one look at her sparkly eyes, adorable overbite, and nubby tail, and the rest was history.
Peggy is thriving in her foster home, impressing them the second she walked through the door. She is house broken (this is so rare for our hounds, you have no idea
), crate trained, and rarely barks (also super rare as a houndy
). She is dog friendly, loves people, and content to just lounge around on a comfy couch or bed all day. Until feeding time of course, then she’ll be laying in the kitchen instead.
Girlie does love a dirt patch though, she’ll dig her own little mound of dirt and then plop right down like she’s laying on a queen mattress.
Peggy is ready to find her true forever humans, a family that will love her forever and never abandon her. She is roughly 7 years old and fit as a fiddle! Adopt happiness, adopt Peggy Sue
