Meet Winnie, the cuddly new companion you've been looking for. This sweet gal is an adorable 25-pound Spring Spaniel mix with short legs, ready to pounce into your heart. Rescued from a cramped 10x10 pen in Mississippi, Winnie is one of eight puppies saved from a heartbreaking fate. When they were freed, they burst with joy, eager to explore the world and embrace their second chance at life. Though she was a bit nervous at first, Winnie quickly warmed up and proved to be the sweetest little dog you could ever hope for. She’s super friendly and loves nothing more than to be petted and showered with affection. She's great with other dogs and kids alike too. With her playful spirit and endearing personality, Winnie would be an absolute delight for just about anyone. Spayed and up to date on all age appropriate vaccines, Winnie is truly ready to walk into her forever home and bring endless happiness to your family.

Story
Meet Bud, the 2 year old 58 lb Pitbull who can't wait to meet you. Bud is not your average pup—he’s a gentle soul just looking for a loving home. This sweet boy is a bundle of joy who knows his commands and walks like a dream on a leash. Bud is friendly with everyone he meets, including dogs, kids, and people in the neighborhood. He’s proven to be a true gentleman, even when other dogs come to bother him—he just ignores them. Having not received much love in his past, Bud is ready to find his people. He thrives on attention and companionship, and he’d love to have a buddy to play with. Bud gets along well with other dogs, so he’d fit right in with a playful pack and would ideally love a house with at least 1 resident dog already there.  While Bud is okay with calm cats, he does have a curious side—if they move quickly, he might chase. And when it comes to squirrels, he’s definitely interested, but he listens when you call him back. His obedience shines through in every interaction. Bud is up to date on vaccines and neutered, making him ready to join your family. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will bring joy and love into your life, Bud is the one for you. Apply for adoption today at https://peace4paws.org/adoption-application. Together, let's give Bud the fur-ever home he deserves.If you have specific adoption or foster questions, please email: judy.atchison@yahoo.com THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN RESCUING A DOG!

Story
Meet Cookie, a stunning Pit Bull mix with a unique and endearing personality. At just one year old and weighing 64 pounds, Cookie is a gentle giant with a heart full of love. Her current foster describes her as housebroken and an absolute sweetheart, making her a wonderful companion. Cookie's journey began on a farm in Kentucky, where she developed her love for the outdoors and discovered her playful nature. She gets along well with other dogs and cats making her a delightful addition to any pack. Despite her playful side, Cookie is quite sensitive to loud noises and bustling environments, which is why she thrives in quieter households without children or older ones. A fenced-in yard is her sanctuary, where she feels most comfortable and secure. Cookie is on a journey toward building confidence and living a stress-free life. She needs a patient and loving foster or forever home who can provide a calm household, helping her grow and blossom into the amazing dog she is destined to be. With the right environment, Cookie will surely become a loyal and loving companion. She know all her commands and absolutely loves to snuggle. What could be better? If you think you can offer Cookie a foster or forever home, please apply at https://peace4paws.org/adoption-application or https://peace4paws.org/foster-applicationIf you have specific adoption or foster questions, please email: judy.atchison@yahoo.com THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN RESCUING A DOG!

Story
Meet Hazel, a soulful sweetheart whose eyes tell a story of longing for love. This gentle Pitbull mix, around 3 years old and 45 lbs, has faced disappointment after being returned from what seemed like a promising home. She connected well with the family and enjoyed exploring the yard, but sadly, the introduction with the resident female dog didn't go smoothly, as there was tension between the two canine ladies. Hazel's heart is pure and gentle. She's never shown aggression towards humans, cherishing every moment of affection on the couch and being remarkably patient with a toddler. Her playful spirit and ability to leap a 4ft fence highlight her agility, though her excitement sometimes results in a clumsy bump or two around the house. Despite her setbacks, Hazel's love for life shines through during playtime. Whether chasing balls or engaging in tug-of-war, she exudes enthusiasm and a longing for companionship. Yet, deep down, she yearns for a home where she can be the sole focus or where introductions to other pets are taken slowly and with care. Hazel waits patiently for the perfect match, someone who will see beyond her brief history and offer the stable, loving environment she truly deserves. If you're ready to open your heart and home to this resilient companion, please apply for adoption at [Peace4Paws Adoption Application](https://peace4paws.org/adoption-application). Together, let's rewrite Hazel's story with the warmth and security she craves.If you have specific adoption or foster questions, please email: judy.atchison@yahoo.com THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN RESCUING A DOG!
