If you want to Truly Rescue a dog, then sweet Peggy is your girl. Peggy has spent the last 2 years living outside on her own. Thankfully she was fed by a nice family who would leave food out for her a night. She was eventually rescued by Missing Dogs of MA. Once PAWS became aware of her, we were more then willing to accept her into our rescue.Peg is now in a foster home where she is working on confidence building and trusting humans. She needs a home where someone will give her lots of time and space to acclimate. This adorable senior is housetrained and will go into her crate, if needed, but her foster has not needed to crate her as she stays in her bed and never chews anything. She is a bit too nervous on a leash right now.Peg is excellent with other dogs. We strongly feel that a canine sibling is required at her adoptive home. She is so much more at ease when other dogs are around. She is also fine with older children who understand that she does need her space.This girl is quiet and does not require much. She just wants a warm bed and to be fed. She doesn’t want or need a lot of human affection, but she does enjoy being in the same room as her foster family. If you’re looking for an active dog to hop in the car and be social, please move on. However, If you’re looking for a lazy couch potato who just wants to feel safe and loved, then look no further. Peg is one of the sweetest dogs you’ll ever meet.Name: PeggyBreed: Terrier MixSex: FemaleAge: 8 years  (estimated)Weight: 65.0Spayed/Neutered: YesVaccinations: Up to dateHeartworm: Negative on recent testingMicrochipped: YesBASED ON OUR OBSERVATIONS:Good with Children: Over 5Good with Dogs: Yes, would DEFINITELY need a canine companion.Good with Cats: UnknownAdoption Fee: $300Location of dog currently:   New England IMPORTANT INFORMATION - Paws New England is a foster-based rescue; our dogs reside in various locations throughout the south & New England.  Adoption donations cover pre-adoption vet costs (including vaccinations, spay/neuter when age appropriate, and heartworm testing/treatment when necessary), a microchip, and transportation to New England if necessary.Donations for our young, healthy puppies and dogs support their fellow canines of advanced age or suffering from injuries and abuse whose donations are reduced but whose veterinary costs are typically much higher.
