About Peanut

Peanut is a lively 4-month-old terrier mix who joined our rescue when his owner faced challenging times. He’s had a unique start in life, coming home at just a couple of weeks old and raised as a bottle baby. Without the chance to learn from his mother or other puppies, Peanut is now on a journey to develop his social skills with the help of experienced foster dogs. Despite initial shyness around other dogs, Peanut is showing resilience and eagerness to learn. He has a playful spirit and enjoys romping outside, chewing on sticks, and chasing his tail, which is pure entertainment. Peanut is a Velcro dog who loves being close to his humans, forming a deep bond thanks to his upbringing. He’s already crate trained, sleeps through the night, and is working on his potty training. Peanut's loving personality and potential to grow into a well-socialized companion make him an excellent addition for any family. More updates will come as he continues to thrive in foster care.
