Meet Peaches: The sweet pup with a lot of love, ready for her forever home<\/p>\n

A Giant Puppy With Big Love to Give<\/p>\n

Peaches is still very much a puppy, despite her impressive size.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe loves everything, everyone, all the time,\u201d said Austin Humane Society Chief Administrative Officer Sarah. \u201cWhatever you’re doing, she wants to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Described as a retriever mix with endless enthusiasm, Peaches loves playing fetch, gets along well with other dogs and is already house-trained.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe’s a dream,\u201d Sarah said.<\/p>\n

Looking for a Special Family<\/p>\n

Peaches does have one medical challenge.<\/p>\n

She was diagnosed with aortic stenosis, a heart condition that causes her heart to work harder than normal. While she’s stable and takes inexpensive daily medication, the condition may shorten her lifespan.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe still needs that forever home,\u201d Sarah said. \u201cI ask people to open their hearts and recognize that she deserves a loving family.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite her diagnosis, Peaches doesn’t let it slow her down.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe wants to play fetch. She can do that,\u201d Sarah said. \u201cShe kind of self-regulates.\u201d<\/p>\n

Why Adopting Special-Needs Pets Matters<\/p>\n

Giving Peaches a home doesn’t just change her life\u2014it also creates space for the Austin Humane Society to rescue and care for more animals with medical needs.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy taking her on, you’re not only saving her life, you’re letting us take in more medical cases,\u201d Sarah explained.<\/p>\n

Teddy Bear Surgery Returns<\/p>\n

The Austin Humane Society is also hosting one of its favorite family events this weekend: Teddy Bear Surgery.<\/p>\n

Designed for children ages 10 and under, the free event invites kids to bring their favorite stuffed animals for pretend veterinary checkups while learning about pet care.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe basically make-believe veterinarian checkups,\u201d Sarah said. \u201cThe kids play doctor, wear little gowns, use stethoscopes and learn about taking care of their stuffies.\u201d<\/p>\n

The event begins at 9:30 a.m. Saturday at the Austin Humane Society.<\/p>\n

Whether you’re ready to adopt, foster or volunteer, there are plenty of ways to support the Austin Humane Society’s mission.<\/p>\n

\u201cVolunteers, fosters, adopters, even buying something off our Amazon wish list, everything can really go a long way,\u201d Sarah said.<\/p>\n

If you’re not quite ready to adopt, the organization also offers weekend and long-term foster opportunities to help shelter pets get a break from kennel life.<\/p>\n
