About Peanut

Meet Peanut, a charming 1.5-year-old neutered male Chihuahua mix weighing 20 pounds. Currently in San Antonio, Texas, he's looking for an adventurous family who can help him thrive. Rescued from a hoarding situation with 80 other dogs, he’s learned a lot in just six weeks at his foster home. Peanut's playful spirit shines through every day; he loves chasing toys and discovering the world around him. Though he’s full of energy and confidence while playing, Peanut can still feel unsure in new situations. He’s working hard on his leash skills and is eager to learn commands like sit and down. While he's made significant progress with house training, he’ll need a patient adopter who understands that accidents may happen. Peanut enjoys the company of other dogs and would flourish with a friendly pup to guide him. He’s best suited for a home with older children (15 and up) due to his playful mouthiness. This fun-loving guy is ready for outdoor adventures and a forever home where he can continue to learn and grow. If you’re ready to invest in Peanut's journey, you won’t just gain a pet; you’ll find a loyal companion who makes every day an adventure. Let’s make it official, apply to adopt!
