Story
Hercules is a handsome 2-year-old Husky with a fun, curious personality. I rescued him from a junkyard at 7 months old and have cared for him while searching for his perfect forever home. He is house trained, knows basic commands, and loves exploring.Hercules can be shy when meeting new people, but once he feels comfortable and trusts you, his sweet personality really comes out. Patience, love, and a little ham(his favorite treat) go a long way!He generally does well with other dogs, although calm introductions are best, and he should be given space around food. Young children can make him nervous, so a home without small kids would be ideal.He also has a sensitive stomach and does best with special food and probiotics. Hercules would thrive with a patient, loving family who will give him the time he needs to settle in and become your loyal companion.

Story
Meet Bart! Bart is a 3-year-old Flat-Coated Retriever (62 lbs) who is up to date on all vaccines and currently working on building confidence through training. He has a sensitive nature and can be unsure of new people at first, so slow, structured introductions are essential for him to feel safe.  While he does well with dogs, we are looking for a home where he will be your only puppy love. Because of this, Bart is looking for an *experienced* adopter who is committed to participating in training sessions before bringing him home, so he can build trust gradually. His trainers will also support the transition to set both Bart and his adopter up for success. Bart would do best in a calm, suburban or country home with adults only. Once he feels comfortable, this fella is incredibly loyal and forms a strong bond with his person. With patience, consistency, and continued training, he will make a deeply rewarding companion. Bart can’t wait to meet you!  He is waiting in boarding for his perfect forever home.  He is neutered, microchipped and vaccinated. To foster to adopt Bart apply at www.peace4paws.org/foster-application on a laptop or computer.   If you are not in a position to adopt, consider donating so we can continue to provide care for dogs like Bart that desperately need it.

Story
Meet Barbie! Searching for a partner who is as smart as she is sweet? This intuitive girl is the ultimate 'thinker's dog.' She’s looking for an adopter who appreciates an active lifestyle and a sharp mind. She’ll impress you with how quickly she learns and keep you smiling with her TV commentary and famous wiggle-butt greetings. She knows how to behave in public places and will happily accompany you to an outdoor cafe or sidewalk sale. She's great in the car so load her in and bring her with you. After a day of outdoor adventures and a few brain-teasing puzzles, there is nothing she loves more than settling in for a serious cuddle session in her calm sanctuary. If you’re ready for a devoted, athletic, and brilliantly capable companion, your search ends here! This 2.5-year-old, 45 lb mixed breed beauty is smart, goofy, and full of curiosity. She’s a pro at fetch, loves chasing bugs (and catching them!), and thrives when given a job to do—definitely some working dog energy here! Barbie is house trained, though will occasionally use wee wee pads overnight.  Ready to give this amazing girl the forever home she deserves?? Apply on a laptop or computer at www.peace4paws.org/adoption-application.   If you are not in a position to adopt, consider donating so we can continue to provide care for dogs like Barbie that desperately need it.

Story
Snow is anything but icy! The All-Terrain Sweetheart with a Spark!  Meet Snow, a vibrant and affectionate 4½-year-old Rottweiler mix weighing about 85–90 pounds. This sweet girl has a true zest for life and a heart full of love. She's sugar with a little spice and oh so nice. The perfect mix of "adventure buddy" and "couch potato." Whether it’s a rainy hike or a sunny jog, this girl is all-weather, all-terrain, and always ready to go! She’s even mastering the treadmill for those extra chilly days.    When not outside exploring, she loves to be close to her people. Any chance for extra pets, cuddles, or toy time. But when the sun goes down? Snow is all about the "self-care." She loves wearing her favorite jammies, getting a little lotion, and settling in for a calm night.    Why you’ll love her:  • Pro Student: She is incredibly eager to learn and highly food motivated (even for frozen green beans!). She already knows Sit, Down, Paw, Off, Wave, Spin, and even Get Dressed (putting on her harness). Working on choice games and combo sets.  • Walking Partner: She’s well-behaved on a leash with her head harness and is the perfect size for a jogging companion.  • House Manners: She’s crate-trained, calm indoors, has impeccable potty behaviors, and even working on her dental hygiene!    Her perfect match: Snow is a thinker who thrives on learning games as well as a cuddlebug who thrives on affection. She’s currently practicing her social skills at doggy daycare and can be selective with dog friends. She needs a human, or two, who will continue her training journey. While she gets excited to meet new people, she does best with a slow, respectful introduction to feel her best. Could you be the one to open your home and heart to Snow? She’s ready for her second chance and will reward you with endless love and loyalty. To adopt or foster, please apply at www.peace4paws.org/adoption-application from a laptop or computer. Not able to adopt right now? You can still make a difference in Snow’s life! Fostering is another wonderful way to help, or you can donate toward Snow’s care while she waits for her forever family. Every bit of support helps us give sweet dogs like Snow the love and care they deserve.

Story
Meet Bodhi, a male pit bull terrier mix with a huge heart and a true survivor’s spirit. He is estimated to be between 1 and 3 years old, weighs about 45 pounds, and is full of life and love. Bodhi miraculously survived a hit-and-run car accident, and through it all, he has remained incredibly sweet and people-oriented. As a result of his injuries, Bodhi needed a tail amputation, but he has healed beautifully and is now in excellent physical shape. His resilience is matched by his joyful, lively personality. Bodhi loves to train and play with people, he can get a bit over-excited so he needs people who are willing to work with his trainers to learn how to play properly with him. His trainers will also be involved every step of the way to ensure a smooth transition and help to answer any questions.  Bodhi would do best as an only dog in an adult only home and people who have past experience with a high drive, high energy dog. He is a great dog with a big heart, a strong spirit, and so much love to give. If you are looking for a loyal companion with a remarkable story and an even better personality, Bodhi may be the one for you. To apply, go to www.peace4paws.org/adoption-application (use a computer or laptop).
