About Peony

Peony is the dog that just radiates sunshine! This girl is the happiest, wiggliest, most hilarious dog you'll ever meet. 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 5-ish year old, 45lb staffie mix who has never met a stranger. She is fantastic with people, kids, dogs, and cats – truly, she's perfect! Peony LOVES people 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. She is super playful but can absolutely 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 showed more than a casual interest.

Ideal Home

Peony is a dog who really thrives on routine and structure. This means providing her with plenty of guidance inside and outside the home, working on place work (which helps with impulse control and settling indoors), crate work, and proper exercise. When she's given this structure, she is absolutely wonderful. Without something to do, Peony can get overstimulated, but with time, we know she will adjust to her forever home's routine.

Ongoing Health

Peony is currently undergoing heartworm treatment and will be ready for 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! Peony's adopter should be dedicated to working with her on training. She has the foundation and will just need consistency from her forever home. Our rescue provides adopters with various training resources to set them up for success.
