About Peanut
Peanut is a little gem who truly makes you earn his trust. Weighing in at just 5 pounds, this tiny Chihuahua has a giant heart. Though he can be shy around newcomers and uneasy in new environments, once he bonds with you, he becomes your devoted sidekick. Whether he’s nestled in your lap, cozied up on the couch, or closely following you about the house, Peanut thrives on being near his loved ones. This affectionate boy is ready to start fresh after finding himself in rescue. He’s looking for a family that will appreciate his loyalty and gentle demeanor. Peanut is housebroken, crate trained, neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. He walks well on a leash and knows commands like sit, stay, and let’s go. Treat-motivated and eager to please, he even enjoys bath time, despite his mixed feelings about garden hoses! Like many small dogs, Peanut has his quirks. He is particularly bonded to his humans and can show possessive tendencies over them. Peanut is also a great alarm dog, alerting you to visitors or unusual sounds, but when scared, he may hide under the bed until he feels reassured. A securely fenced yard would be ideal for Peanut, allowing him to safely explore and enjoy the outdoors. He needs a committed adopter to keep him safe, as he can dart off in a flash if given the chance. Given his nervousness around children, Peanut would thrive best in a quieter adult home. His compatibility with other dogs and cats remains unknown. If you’re ready to share your life with a loyal companion who showers you with love and warmth, consider bringing Peanut home. He just needs someone who will give him the time and patience he deserves. Click apply to start the adoption process.
