About Peanut

Peanut is a charming 4-year-old, 14-pound black Shih Tzu with a unique and athletic build. Unlike many of his breed, he's not just a couch potato; he's active and loves to explore the world around him. Peanut enjoys meeting new people and thrives in the company of other dogs, making him a perfect fit for a home that appreciates a playful, outgoing companion. While Peanut is crate trained and working on his house manners, he still needs some help with leash walking, as he hasn’t had much practice. Patience and guidance from his new family will help him gain confidence on walks. A securely fenced yard is a must; the fence needs to be at least 4 feet high with minimal gaps to ensure his safety. This affectionate pup is ready to bring joy and fun to his forever family, whether they are going on adventures or simply enjoying playtime at home. Peanut is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and looking for a family that can provide him with plenty of love and activity. Make Peanut a part of your family and experience the joy he will bring.
