About Peanut

Peanut is a sweet and affectionate little pup who loves playing with toys, walks, and curling up in your lap, bringing a fun and energetic spark to her family. She can be a bit shy with new people and sensitive to handling at times, so she’ll do best in a patient home with older children that can help her feel safe and build confidence. Come meet Peanut today!

About Pug Dogs

Pugs are irresistible little clowns with wrinkled faces, big round eyes, and an unmatched talent for making people laugh. They're sociable, loving dogs who live to be the center of attention. Pugs have a wonderful sense of humor and a mischievous charm that's impossible to resist.

When you adopt a Pug, you're gaining a shadow who follows you from room to room with adoring eyes. They're excellent with children, friendly with everyone, and adapt well to any living situation. Their low exercise needs and affectionate nature make them perfect companions.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

15°F to 45°F

Dec – Feb

Cold with periodic snowstorms, but frequent sunny days warm things up quickly. The dry cold feels less harsh than humid climates at the same temperature. Protect paws from ice and carry extra water as the dry air dehydrates pets.

Spring

28°F to 62°F

Mar – May

Colorado spring is unpredictable with warm days followed by heavy snowstorms. Cherry Creek State Park trails open up as conditions dry. Late spring brings the best balance of warmth and manageable trail conditions.

Summer

58°F to 88°F

Jun – Aug

Dry heat with low humidity makes summer more comfortable than eastern cities. Afternoon thunderstorms with lightning are common. Carry extra water on hikes as the altitude and dry air cause rapid dehydration in pets.
