Peaches - Dachshund Dog for Adoption in Pembroke, Massachusetts

Meet Peaches!

AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION

Peaches is a 10-pound female Dachshund mix born on January 7, 2026. She came to BFAR through Hanover Animal Control following an owner surrender and is currently living in a Massachusetts foster home.

PERSONALITY: Peaches is sweet, cuddly, smart, and moderately active. She was nervous when she first arrived in foster care, but it did not take long for her to feel safe and comfortable. She is now deeply attached to her foster and follows her everywhere. Peaches loves burrowing into jackets and blankets, snuggling with her person, spending time outside, and being included in whatever is happening.

HOUSE AND CRATE: Peaches is making progress with house training, but it is still a work in progress. Her foster watches her body language for signs that she needs to go outside. She is still learning to feel comfortable in her crate and has already made a lot of progress. She may whine briefly before settling at night and bark for a short time when crated during the day.

TRAINING: Peaches walks very well on a leash and gets excited as soon as she sees it come out. She may bark when she notices people outside or when visitors first arrive, but she settles once she has time to adjust. She also rides very well in the car.

OTHER DOGS: Peaches can live with a gentle, well-matched dog of any size. Because she is small, her canine companion should have a play style that will not overwhelm her. She enjoyed meeting a male Dachshund and may especially enjoy another small dog, but she does not require a resident dog.

CHILDREN: Peaches has not lived with children. She may do well with gentle children who can safely and respectfully interact with a small dog.

CATS: Peaches did well when she met a cat, although she has not lived with one.

FOOD: Peaches has always eaten home-cooked meals and will sometimes eat Freshpet. Her meals have included foods such as ground beef, lentils, carrots, spinach, beef broth, and scrambled eggs. Her adopter must be willing to continue an appropriate feeding routine and work with their veterinarian to make sure her long-term diet is complete and balanced.

SPECIAL NOTES: Peaches is a clever and determined little dog who has figured out how to open doors that are not completely closed. Her future family will need to make sure doors and gates are secured.

MEDICAL: Peaches is spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, and on preventatives. She has no known medical concerns.

BEST FIT: Peaches would thrive with a loving family that will give her time to adjust, continue her house and crate training, provide regular walks and outdoor time, and let her enjoy plenty of cuddles. She can be an only dog or live with a gentle canine companion.
