Meet Peaches, a 15-month-old spayed female purebred Golden. Peaches came from a home where she was very well treated, but did not have the time to devote to her that a young dog requires.

Peaches appears to be housebroken, as she has not had a single accident in the house. She is full of young dog energy and very playful. She walks very well on a Gentle Leader, but will pull on a flat collar. She knows her name and will usually sit on command. However, she needs continued training to be a well-mannered dog. She is very friendly to people and other dogs. She is a very good swimmer and loves to retrieve, however, would rather bring the ball back and tease you with it vs. giving it back---we are working on that. Finally, she is crate trained and I did not hear a beep during her first night in foster care.

Peaches will have her wellness exam later this week and will receive any needed vaccinations. If all goes well at her vet visit, she will be available for adoption by the Labor Day Weekend.

Peaches's ideal adopter will have room for her to burn off some of her energy and have the time and dedication to provide her additional training. She is reported to be good around children but I would not recommend very young children, as she would likely knock them down.

More to come as I get to know her better.
