About Peanut

Peanut arrived at the county shelter in April after suffering a broken leg that risked amputation. Lucky's Crew Animal Rescue stepped in and arranged a surgical evaluation, ultimately performing successful surgery on May 5, 2026. Thanks to a plate and screws, Peanut's fracture is now healed, though he may face arthritis later in life, for which he’s on a joint supplement. Neutering is scheduled for July 13, 2026, and he's expected to be ready for adoption by the end of that month. Peanut gets along well with other dogs and has shown some tolerance towards cats, though he’s a bit timid around them. Ideal for families with older children, he’s cuddly, lovable, and incredibly playful. After everything he has endured, Peanut is eager to find a forever home filled with love. Ready to fall in love?
