About Peanut

Meet Peanut, a charming little chihuahua mix. She came to the shelter as an owner surrender, which means her previous guardian was unfortunately unable to care for her anymore. Peanut is a social butterfly, loving interactions with people and other dogs. Though small, she truly benefits from daily physical and mental stimulation; without it, she might chew on items around the house. Providing her with appropriate chew options will help redirect her energy and preserve your favorite shoes. Peanut would thrive with a dedicated adopter who values positive reinforcement training for essential skills such as potty training and leash manners. She has been around cats and enjoys playing with them, so a dog-friendly cat could be a good match—just ensure a slow, considerate introduction. Peanut is available for pre-adoption and is looking for someone to fall in love with her before her spay surgery. Come meet her soon!
