About Peanut

Meet Peanut, a charming little guy who's adjusting to a new life. This 3-year-old male Yorkie mix weighs just 7 pounds and is currently working on his house manners and leash walking skills. Peanut was surrendered to the Chesapeake shelter when his owner could no longer care for him, and understandably, he shows some signs of separation anxiety. However, with patience and love, he's learning to navigate this new world. Peanut has been living with older children and is respectful towards them. He thrives on gentle guidance and would benefit from training classes to build his confidence. Peanut is scheduled to be neutered on September 24th, and once he’s healed, he will be ready for adoption. This sweet guy deserves a loving home where he can feel safe and secure.
