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. She will kiss and wiggle her way into everyone's hearts. Despite her exuberance for life, she is wonderful with toddlers. She is gentle and loving. Peony is amazing with dogs of all sizes. She is super playful but she 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 cared to interact with the cats in the home. Peony is a dog who really thrives on routine and structure. What does that mean? It means providing her with a lot of guidance inside and outside of the home - working on place work (this helps with impulse control and to settle inside the house), crate work, and proper exercise. When she's given this structure, she is absolutely wonderful. Without something to do, Peony can get overstimulated. With time, we know she will adjust to her forever home's routine. Peony is truly a dream boat. The kind of dog that is happy anywhere. She sparks joy.
Ideal Home
Peony thrives on routine and structure, so a home that can provide consistent guidance and opportunities for impulse control exercises like "place work" will help her settle in. Without engaging activities, she can get overstimulated.
Ongoing Health
Peony is currently undergoing heartworm treatment and will be available for adoption in mid-August.
Training & Support
