She will follow you around, but doesn't nip at your ankles or jump on your legs. She loves to snuggle with adults and kids and other dogs. She likes to explore outside and play with the resident dog, squeaky toys or chew on sticks.   She is a happy lab that will bring joy to all. Her whole little body wiggles with excitement when she sees you, even if you've only been out of sight for 30 seconds. Story | Peach came from a litter of 7 pups that were dropped at shelter in Texas, all of them black. Other Dogs | Peach loves others dogs of all sizes. She is learning that not all older dogs like little puppies jumping in their faces, but she won't nip, she just wants to lick their faces. Cats | No exposure to cats, but I'm sure she would be very respectful and follow their lead. Her brother was recently adopted and is getting along great with the resident cat. Children | Peach loves the tiny humans! She will happily play with the littles and loves the attention they give her. She is gentle and doesn't bite. She currently is being fostered with a 4yr old and 6yr old that adore her and love to entertain her with toys and treats. Training | Peach needs basic training, as she is a puppy, but she is definitely food motivated and a quick learner! She is catching on quickly to potty training and has gone two days now with no accidents in the house. She knows that when you take her outside she gets a treat if she goes potty. She hasn't figured out how to alert someone that she needs to go outside, but if taken out regularaly or if the back door is open, she will go outside on her own to go potty. She sleeps quietly in her crate every night for 8hrs with no barking and no accidents. She has learned "no" "drop it" and "come." She has also learned that she must sit before she eats or gets a treat. Leash | Peach is doing great with a slip lead or a harness and will happily walk with you with a little encouragement. She is still getting used to all the loud sounds in the neighborhood, but with time she will be a great walking partner. Activity Level | Typical puppy energy; very active in the morning for the first two hours, then happy to nap and intermittently play throughout the day. She is great at self-entertaining with some toys or chewing on a sturdy bone. Health Notes | Peach is a healthy puppy that is up to date on all vaccines and heartworm prevention. Thank you! | Adoption Donations | Our adoption donations are $425 for dogs 8 weeks to 1 year, $375 for 1-6 years, $325 for dogs 7-10 years, and $175 for 11+ years of age. Purebred dogs regardless of age are $475. These minimum donations help to defer the costs of initial vet care, food, and supplies while in foster care that currently average over $700 per dog).Meeting Dogs | Foster dogs may have meet & greets by appointment to approved applicants only.  To become an approved applicant - please complete the application process.Please know | Available dogs are updated as soon as possible and we do our best to keep it up-to-date, but occasionally dogs shown may become unavailable without notice due to a pending adoption.We encourage you to put in an application even if you don't see your new family member currently, as once you are approved, we can place you on the waiting list for first priority on the selection of the dogs we do bring in. That means you can often meet a dog upon transport arrival and adopt before they even make it to this page!We can not guarantee that a dog you wish to adopt is available by the time your adoption application is submitted, processed, and approved.  Your application is good for 90 days from the time of approval for any dog as long as it is a good fit for your family and your lifestyle. October 24, 2023, 7:18 am
