My name is Hickory!

Hi there, I’m Hickory—and I’m just as sweet and lovable as I sound! I’m a 4-month-old Anatolian Shepherd mix weighing about 19 pounds right now, but I’ll likely grow to be around 60–75 pounds when I’m full grown. I’ve had my basic puppy shots, but my future family will need to keep me on track with my vaccine schedule and get me spayed when I’m old enough.

Anatolian Shepherds are known for being loyal, gentle, and super smart—and I’m already showing those traits in my own playful puppy way. I love to explore, sniff around, and soak up all the attention I can get. After a busy day of play, I’m happiest curling up close for some snuggles. I’m curious, affectionate, and oh-so-ready to find a family to love me forever.

If you think I could be the perfect new addition to your family, please apply to adopt me at https://peace4paws.org/adoption-application from your laptop or computer. I can’t wait to meet you and show you just how sweet life can be with Hickory by your side!
