Peanut is a steady, mellow companion with a soft spot for the quiet things in life. Eight years old and about 22 pounds, he brings every ounce of charm in his small, apricot-coated frame. His short red hair and a face reminiscent of a miniature dachshund mark him with a gentle, distinguished look all his own. Peanut likes to keep things simple: a little sun, a slow walk, and stretching out somewhere cozy. He’ll shadow you silently, especially once he feels at home, happy to follow you or curl up nearby. He greets new people on his own terms, polite and sometimes reserved, but he’s always friendly—show him a treat and he’ll be in your corner quickly. Peanut gets along with other dogs, though he prefers observing to joining the pack. He hasn’t met cats yet, but his laid-back manner hints he’d handle it just fine. He’s already leash and crate trained, house trained with a regular schedule, and adapts well despite being blind in one eye and having limited vision in the other. Stairs? He figures them out, one careful step at a time. He doesn’t fuss if you leave him alone, isn’t destructive, and keeps life uncomplicated. Peanut’s currently being treated for heartworms and is otherwise healthy, neutered, and feeling better every day. For anyone hoping for a devoted shadow and low-key, dignified friendship, Peanut’s ready for his next home. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
