2/6/2010: Meet Peggy Sue. Peggy is a fawn horsecoat female; she weighs about 44 lbs and has a huge muzzle. She's a beautiful girl. Peggy came into rescue in very bad health. She had (has) pancreatitis and to keep it under control she will need to eat a low-fat diet from here on out.. She also has a very bad habit of eating things she shouldn't, like stuffed toys, sticks, etc. Peggy is being treated for heartworm disease and will be spayed when the treatment is finished.

Peggy Sue is good with other dogs and she loves everybody she meets. She is crate trained, house trained, vaccinated and microchipped.

Peggy will need a special home - an adult home that is very attentive to her eating things she shouldn't. We don't think that she would do well in a home with small children and small toys. Same goes for teenagers who don't always pick things up. :>) The key is to give her only things she can't chew up - like Nylabones. She loves them and can't destroy them. Peggy will make a wonderful pet for the right couple.

6/21/2011: Peggy Sue is a wonderful girl. She loves everyone and everyone loves her.
Peggy will need to go to a very special home. She will need a family that is always willing to take the time and precautions to keep her safe. She had/has pancreatitis, also her esophagus does not move things along as quickly as it should, therefore Peggy eats special food. Her food costs range from 3.50 to 5.00 a day, depending on if you can get the food on sale. She also takes vitamin B-12 shots, every three weeks.

Peggy needs to be supervised when she is not in her crate. She will need a family where someone is home during the day, so she can be out of her crate at intervals, in order to have a quality life. She has a very large crate in our family room. When we aren't in the room, Peggy needs to be in her crate. She can't have a rug or padding in her crate. She will eat just about anything, toys, cloth, paper, electrical cords have to be where she can't get to them. Peggy does not do this on purpose, she can't control her eating problem. We were hoping with the B-12 shots she would get over this problem, but she hasn't.
One time, she swallowed a nine inch toy rope, whole. Somehow we missed picking it up when the other dogs were finished playing with the toys. Now when the others are in the TV room they can only have hard Kong toys and Souper Nyla bones, which Peggy can also have.
We can't over emphasize the need to keep Peggy safe. If you have the time and patience to keep Peggy safe she will give you total unqualified love.

We require that a home visit by a volunteer be done prior to adoption. The purpose of the home visit is to ensure that the information given during the adoption process is correct and that the home is the right match for the dog being adopted. The home visit also gives adopters a chance to ask questions about the adoption process.

The adoption fee for Peggy Sue is $250, which helps to offset the cost of her medical care.
