Meet Peaches

Although she’s just a puppy, Peaches the pit bull already has quite a life story to tell. She was near death when found by a Washington County sheriff’s deputy in July 2008. The deputy was following a man who was acting suspicious. That’s when the deputy found Peaches trapped in a kennel and dumped in a ditch on a deserted road. She had been severely abused with bites and burns on her body.

Doctors at the Animal Humane Society’s Woodbury facility treated her painful wounds, and eventually, Peaches went to the adoption floor. Luckily for her, this was the exact time Brenda was looking for a dog as a companion for her sons.

To see Peaches today, you’d never know she had been through such trauma. She is a bouncy, happy puppy who greets everyone with a big, wet, sloppy kiss. She shows off her belly, begging for a rub. Her bruises have healed, and there are no longer any signs of abuse. According to Brenda, Peaches never shows signs of any behavioral problems. She’s just like any other happy dog always wanting to snuggle and play. Peaches could be the poster dog for what great pets pit bulls can be when they are loved.
