Peaches

Mutt/Maremma Sheepdog

Female, Young
Lamy, NM
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained,
Story
Peaches and her sister Scrippy (in the picture) were found by the side of the road at 1 month old. They are about 2 years old and weight about 50 lbs. We have fostered them for the last 2 years. We are moving out of state and eventually out of the country and will not be able to bring them with us. We would prefer if Peaches and Scrippy are adopted together, but it is not required. They are both house trained with access to a dog-door during the day. They have lived with 2 other dogs in a 30-acre property with GPS-collars. They are used to roam around the property during the day, with free access to the house. They sleep inside the house. They are used to wearing a leach on hikes but need more training in that regards. They have been around children on a few occasions with no issues. They do not chew, bite or damage anything inside the house so far.
