About Peanut

Meet Peanut, a sweet-natured terrier mix who radiates a gentle, playful personality. At only 2.5 months old, this little girl is already spayed and patiently waiting for her forever family in Tomah, WI. Peanut is happiest curled up beside her human for a nap but is full of playful energy when awake. She’s that rare puppy who seamlessly transitions from cuddle mode to playtime and back again, always ready for either. Peanut gets along beautifully with both dogs and cats, and her easygoing, affectionate temperament stands out. Though she hasn’t met children yet, her loving disposition suggests she’d likely handle young family members without issue. Peanut was previously free-fed and enjoys it, though she’ll adapt to set meal times if needed. She’s shown zero food or toy aggression and just wants to be close to her people or animal pals. Not fully kennel trained yet, Peanut is making notable progress with potty training and only has occasional accidents if left alone too long. She’s looking for a home ready for lots of snuggles, a playful companion, and a puppy who enjoys being at the center of family life. As a fun note, Peanut was born on St. Patrick’s Day, so she’s a lucky Pisces—a natural friend. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
