Story
Meet Roo! ❤️🐾 Roo is a stunning, incredibly smart girl who forms strong bonds with the people she trusts. Once you're in her circle, she's affectionate, silly, playful, and loves snuggles, pets, and belly rubs. Her foster family describes her as simply “so easy to love.” Roo is active, food motivated, and loves to learn. She already knows several cues and has been doing great with clicker training and positive reinforcement. She’s also a toy fanatic who loves balls, sticks, rope toys, puzzles, and zoomies. And her absolute favorite? Water! Give Roo a kiddie pool and she’ll leap right in, chase her toys, and even blow bubbles underwater while fishing for a ball. Roo is looking for a quiet, adult-only home with an experienced adopter who can give her structure, predictability, and time to build trust. She can be sensitive and reactive to unfamiliar people, dogs, sounds, and movement, so a home with few visitors and continued training will help her thrive. Roo is a true homebody who is happiest enjoying the comfort and predictability of her own space, rather than joining her family for trips, outings, or travel. She is fully house trained and would love a fenced yard where she can safely run and play. Roo needs to be the only pet in her home, with no dogs or cats. Roo isn't looking for everyone—she's looking for her people. For someone willing to earn her trust, this special girl has so much love, laughter, and personality to share. 🐾 A&S Pet Care has generously provided a $250 scholarship for services for her future adopter! ❤️🐾

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##

DOB 8-20-2023 Ralph is just a good boy, he gets along well with others, loves to run and play and is social. He is neutered, heartworm negative and has received a Proheart 6 injection. His adoption fee is 600.00, transport fee is 165.00. Our transport is HEARTS, they run every 2 weeks. The first step in the adoption process is to fill out an online adoption application.

An application does not obligate you to adopt from us, but it does show that you are serious about the adoption process. Please remember we are all volunteers. After you submit your application please allow a few days for a volunteer to review your application. During this time your vet reference will be checked and a volunteer with determine if it is the best match for you and the animal. Applications are not approved on a first come, first serve basis. We match up the best home for the animal, so even if the pet has other applications, this does not mean he/she will be adopted to that home. Once your application has been approved a volunteer with contact you to set up a phone interview. This is the perfect time for you to ask any questions you have about the adoption process and the animal you are interested in.
