Meet Peggy!
She’s a young cattle dog looking for a home. Peggy has spent the last week in foster and this is what her foster has to report to us.
- Cat and dog friendly? Yes! But she needs her furry siblings to either be very unbothered by anything or be able to enforce their boundaries, because Peggy does what cattle dogs do and will try to herd everything that moves.
- Small critter friendly? No. Peggy would very much like to become an exterminator of them when she grows up.
- Potty training? Peggy is working on it. As long as she gets out often enough accidents are rare but they do happen.
- Car Rides? Peggy is there for the vibes and prefers to sit in the back seat. She’s happy to wait if you have to run in somewhere to grab things. Peggy does ask that you not drive too recklessly as she does get car sick.
- During walks she’s just happy to be out and about and to frolic through the leaf piles. And to try herding her foster sister when the mood strikes her.
- Peggy is a great work from home buddy. She will spend most of the day sleeping and occasionally get up to perform some puppy shenanigans before going back to sleep.
- Food? She eats sure. But in Peggy’s world People > Food. She will abandon delicious wet cat food for the sake of making sure she doesn’t lose sight of where her people are.
Overall, Peggy is a darn good puppy to have around if you can handle a herding dog in your life. She’s a good girl 22 hours a day, 7 days a week. Why not a full 24 hours? Because between the hours of 7 pm and 9 pm is her witching hour where she becomes possessed by the spirits of all the cattle dogs who have come before her and tears around the house looking for cows to herd. But there are no cows. Only people and other dogs. The cats wisely hide themselves away on top of their towers. All else are at her mercy of which she has little.
If you are looking for 30 pounds of pure cattle dog love to bring into your life, Peggy is perfect. Apply today to set up a visit and find out if you’re ready to give her the love and life she deserves!
