My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Peaches 🍑

Peaches moves through the world with a quiet kind of grace. She’s gentle, observant, and deeply tuned in to the people around her, especially children. Around little ones, she’s calm and careful, settling easily at their side and soaking up affection with a soft, steady presence.

She loves people in general and never misses an opportunity to lean in for pets or sit close by. Peaches isn’t demanding about attention; she simply wants to be near you. If there’s a chance to curl up at your feet or nestle beside a child on the couch, she’s already there.

Life with Peaches is peaceful. She’s crate trained, fully house trained, and completely comfortable spending a few hours on her own. When left alone, she doesn’t fuss or worry. She naps. She waits. She trusts that you’ll be back.

On walks, Peaches is a joy. She moves nicely on leash, stopping to sniff and take in her surroundings, then happily heads home to relax. In the yard, she enjoys exploring for a bit before returning to what she loves most: being close to her people.

With other dogs, Peaches tends to be neutral and unbothered, preferring a calm coexistence rather than rough play. Her strength lies in her steadiness, her manners, and the way she seems to understand exactly how to fit into a home.

Peaches is one of those dogs who doesn’t need to try to be special. She just is. Sweet, grounded, and endlessly loving, she’s the kind of companion who makes a house feel softer the moment she walks in.
