About Peanut

Peanut is a 1.5-year-old neutered male Chihuahua mix, weighing about 20 pounds. Currently located in Texas, he’s part of a loving foster home in San Antonio and ready for transport once approved. Peanut was rescued from a hoarding situation with 80 other dogs, and he’s blossomed significantly since coming into care. He thrives in a structured environment and has shown remarkable progress in learning how to be a pet. Peanut is energetic, playful, and loves a game of chase. He has a sweet demeanor and is eager to connect with people, though he can be a bit unsure around new faces. This smart pup is already picking up commands like sit and down, but he still needs guidance with house training and cannot be left alone unsupervised yet. Peanut would excel in an active home with a patient adopter and may benefit from having another friendly dog as a companion. He prefers children 15 and older due to his playful energy. If you’re looking for a loyal sidekick ready for adventures, Peanut could be your perfect match! Click apply to start the adoption process.
