She doesn't like to be alone AND she has medical needs that require a consistent routine.  There are a couple of considerations with this little sweetie. Firstly, she is diabetic and requires insulin twice a day. Her condition is well-managed with medication and consistent medicine is non-negotiable. Secondly, Peaches is not crate trained and may need frequent potty breaks, as she isn’t accustomed to going outside.  Peaches will adapt to your home whether you are a single adopter, a couple, or a family.
