About Peanut

Peanut is a charming 10-week-old purebred black and tan dapple mini Dachshund. He was born with his umbilical cord wrapped around his neck and front paw, resulting in a deformed left front paw and some slight neurological deficiencies; it seems he may have limited sight. Despite this, he runs, plays, and is full of joy. Peanut needs a Dachshund-savvy household that can provide him the love, attention, and protection he deserves. Given his special needs, he would thrive best in an environment without small children. While he is not yet vaccinated, he is neutered and house trained. A veterinary reference is essential, along with a secure fenced yard, to ensure he has a safe home. Peanut gets along well with dogs, making him a good addition if you already have furry friends. His adoption fee is sponsored, which means you can welcome this sweet boy into your life without a fee. Click apply to start the adoption process.
