This dog will be at the Palo Alto Pet Food Express from 12-4pm on Sat. Feb. 17th & Sun. Feb. 18th or until adopted. If interested, please fill out an application if you would like the first opportunity to meet prior to the start of the event. (We will pre-approve one home to meet per dog.)

Peace is a 2 year old tiny JRT mix who is smallest of the Seven Virtue Dogs. He weighs 9lbs. He's a pretty chill guy. He just kind of takes everything in and assesses everything going on around him. He is the one in the whole group who seemed to just be ok with all the chaos around him. Peace is very loving and he's a snuggler and a cuddler. He has not proven to be a big barker.

The Seven Virtues are seven sweet dogs who we rescued from a terrible hoarding situation, one of the worst we’ve seen in our almost twenty years of rescue.  The hoarders reached out to us and begged us to come take their dogs.  When we arrived, we realized we didn’t have the capacity to take all 30-40 of them into our rescue and we called Animal Control to contact other rescues to come help with the rest. These poor babies were being kept in a home with countless other dogs and cats.  They weren’t fed regularly and were forced to live in their own filth much of the time.  Our rescuers thought about putting on face masks just to go into the home because the odors were so unbelievably bad. 

Peace gets along great with other dogs. He is living in a fabulous foster home and his past life is long gone. He is loving living inside the home. He loves to snuggle on the bed and he can't believe that there are an endless supply of dog beds he can choose from all over the house. He has learned how to use the doggy door. He's just doing so well. He will come into a new permanent home and settle right in...

We will only consider a home that has had a dog in the last 3 years. If there are children in the home they need to be at least 8 years old.
