About Peanut

Peanut is a sweet, gentle pup born in the Rio Grande Valley in early November. He has a calm, easygoing temperament, yet he’s still a typical puppy—curious about everything, playful with toys, and most content when curled up close for a nap. Peanut thrives on affection and connection and shows a knack for observing the world around him. He’s the sort of loyal, even-tempered companion who’ll quickly become part of the family. Peanut is still learning the basic ropes of life inside a home, so he needs patient people ready to guide him with positive, consistent training. He isn’t house trained yet and will rely on structure and support as he continues to grow. He enjoys playing with other dogs and is comfortable around children, making him a solid fit for a family ready to invest the time puppies require. Currently fostered in Texas, Peanut is available for adoption in Brookeville, MD and will be transported via an agreed-upon meeting location. If you’ve been looking to add a calm, affectionate puppy to your household, Peanut is ready to meet you. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
