Peach is a four and a half year old Lab and Husky mix. She has hair like a lab, so she doesn't require much grooming apart from the occasional bath! She loves long walks and chasing balls, and is a very quick learner. She's crate trained and house trained and knows a few commands. She's great for nail trims and will lay down on the ground for you to do it. She likes children and does well meeting new people. She's lived with other dogs and cats briefly, but would prefer to go to a home where she's the only pet. She also will need a fenced yard, as most dogs do. She's healthy and has no medical issues, and is UTD on her vaccines. She's a sweet and loyal dog, and would be a great addition to an active household who wants a dog who can keep up!

She's very devoted to her people!
What criteria are important to you when considering an adoptive family or home for your pet?:
She has issues with sharing space/resources with other dogs. She chases small animals outside in the yard, so I don't think a home with cats is a good option.
Why are you rehoming your pet (primary reason)?:
Incompatible with Other Pets
Details about rehoming reason (if needed):
Rehoming because of a recent move due to divorce. The living situation puts her in a home where there are two cats and two other dogs (five pets total) and due to her prey drive and resource guarding she would be best placed in a home where she is the only pet.
