Story
Meet Cash, a handsome 5-year-old dog who is ready to find his new home! Cash can be worried around new people, dogs, and environments initially, but once you`re in the `friends` club, you`re sure to see his snuggly and playful side! He`s got quite an impressive voice that he isn`t afraid to use when he`s feeling overwhelmed or uncomfortable, but he is making great progress with positive reinforcement training and is looking for an adopter who is excited to continue his training journey in his new home.Cash has separation anxiety and is looking for a home with a family who has people present more often than not, and who are ready to help this sensitive fellow learn how to settle on his own throughout the course of his life. He could be successful with a confident role model dog to help show him the ropes, but says no thank you to living with cats, please! Cash adores his people and prefers to stick close, so he`ll need a little help feeling secure when left alone. The good news? You’ll always have a devoted, loving shadow by your side!

Story
Meet Luna! A Beautiful Australian Shepherd Looking for Her Forever Home! Say hello to Luna, a gorgeous 2-year-old purebred Australian Shepherd with so much love to give! This beautiful girl is searching for a patient, understanding family who will give her the opportunity to feel safe, build trust, and show off her wonderful personality! We want to be upfront about one important thing with Luna. She can be reactive when meeting new people. New faces and unfamiliar situations can make her nervous, and she may initially react out of fear or uncertainty. Because of this, Luna needs slow, controlled introductions and someone who understands the importance of giving her a little space and time to adjust. The good news? After just a few minutes, once Luna realizes you're a friend, she typically settles down and warms up! And once she knows you, she's a completely different dog! Luna is fun-loving, playful, affectionate, and full of personality. She just needs someone willing to look past those first few nervous moments to discover the amazing dog underneath.  Once is is in a home where she is socialized, she will be fine! Luna would do best with a family that understands her initial reactivity and is willing to be patient and consistent with introductions. A home with a yard would be wonderful, but she would also be happy with someone who enjoys regular walks, outdoor activities, and spending quality time with their dog. A Little More About Luna: Age: 2 years old Breed: Purebred Australian Shepherd Gender: Female Vaccinations: Up to date Spay Status: Not yet spayed, but our rescue will arrange for her to be spayed Cats: Good with cats! Small Dogs: Does well with small dogs Large Dogs: No large dogs, please Children: Older, respectful children who understand boundaries and can give her space when needed Ideal Home: A patient, understanding family with a yard or an active lifestyle that includes regular walks and exercise Luna isn't a dog who will necessarily run up and greet everyone with a wagging tail right away, and that's okay! She needs a family who understands that her initial reaction doesn't define who she truly is. Once Luna feels comfortable, you'll see just how sweet, silly, and loving this beautiful girl can be. With patience, understanding, and the right environment, she has so much love and companionship to offer. Luna doesn't need a perfect home. She needs the right home — one that will give her a chance. Luna is available for adoption through As Sweet As a Peach Animal Rescue. Could you be the patient, loving person who gives Luna her happily ever after? Apply to adopt her today! ##2882335##

Story
I am a Senior and relocating. Buster is a well behaved dog. He is 3 years old, weighs about 17 pounds and house trained. He travels well in a car and loves attention. He was raised in the country with other dogs. He is shy to people at first but adjust well. He listens to commands and is very smart. He walks on a leash or not. He is a pedigree. He loves to go for walks and if on trail unleashed, he will stick with you. Best suited with a yard or land. All vet records available. A great dog but my life changes require that Buster gets a new home. I will miss him.

Story
Juniper truly is a remarkable dog. It is estimated that she is about four years old. Found on the streets of Houston, she has over come so much. Juniper is deaf and mostly blind but that doesn't stop her. She loves playing with her bouncy ball. She seems to be solar charged. She is most goofy and playful in the morning then chills out almost immediately (to begin one of her many naps of the day). But she will get very excited if she smells her leash coming out. She LOVES meeting new people, and will greet them with a down dog bow and lots of full body wiggles and helicopter tail wags. With other dogs in the home, she either plays with them or ignores them. Her only hurdle is that she is resource aggressive towards food (so feeding her alone is ideal) and sadly, me. She has decided one of her owner is a resource and one is a threat. She would be amazing with a single adult parent or a couple who are patient and ready to learn her touch cues as well as let her feel safe over time.
