About Peony

Peony is the dog that just radiates sunshine! This girl is the happiest, wiggliest, most hilarious dog! Peony has never had a bad day and neither will her forever family because they get to soak up the silliness and love that Peony offers in abundance. She is a 5ish year old, 45lb staffie mix who has never met a stranger. She is fantastic with people, kids, dogs and cats. Truly - she is perfect! Peony LOVES people; she has never met a stranger and will kiss and wiggle her way into everyone's hearts. Despite her exuberance for life, she is wonderful with toddlers, gentle and loving. Peony is amazing with dogs of all sizes and can adjust her play style depending on the dog she's with. Our girl is also great with cats! She was fostered in a home with 2 cats and never cared to interact with them.

Ideal Home

Peony thrives on routine and structure. Providing her with guidance inside and outside the home, working on impulse control with "place" work, crate training, and proper exercise will help her settle in. Without a job to do, Peony can get overstimulated.

Ongoing Health

Peony is currently undergoing heartworm treatment and will be available to go to her forever home in mid-August.

Training & Support

Peony is still working on loose-leash walking; she just loves life and wants to run all over the place! Her adopter should be dedicated to working with her on training. She has the foundation and will just need consistency. Our rescue provides adopters with various training resources. Peony is potty trained, though an adjustment period is expected with any new dog. She is crate trained and may cry for a few minutes before settling in.
