Beautiful girl, Peanut! This precious soul has been with a loving foster for months, getting her back to health and a far better living situation.
Rescued from living on the streets with a homeless person, then abandoned, Peanut was rescued in poor condition and now is healthy and beautiful. She arrived emaciated with bones sticking out and chemical burns all over her body.
She has come a long way and is ready to join a loving and fun family to grow old with. She is medium in size, just 45 lbs, with the goofiest, most loving personality.
Peanut is a mega snuggler, sweet, wiggly, spunky, and totally bonds with her humans. She wants to hang with you! She is energetic so a household of equal energy is best for her. She is food motivated so when she does not want to do something it is a good lure and great for training. She really wants to please and is a smarty pants, eager to learn.
There are things in the world that still make her tentative and nervous yet lots of progress under the loving guidance of her foster.
Peanut will thrive in a more quiet environment, ideally with a yard, nice walks, and stimulating play time (she is smart!). She has not been socialized well in her life and as such, we do not recommend a home with kids or cats. Whether she can live with a dog, we are not yet sure. She is still concerned about other dogs when out on walks, likely from having to source things for herself when homeless. She is being worked with to show less intensity (barking, etc.) and making slow progress. She also has shown some desire to play with a neighborhood dog through a fence with play bows. Maybe in time...but for now, a single doggie in the home.
She is a great leash walker now and full of vocabulary having learned sit, stay, down, break, do your business, got to bed and, wait. She does get excited and can be a little bit mouthy but is making progress there, too! She is learning to hang in her crate for sleep time unless you are the type to share your bed. We are sure she would oblige :)
Peanut will make a person or family very happy and will give you so much love and loyalty. She prefers you to be around more than not and also is great at taking naps!
She is updated on shots, spayed and chipped. Her adoption fee is $395.
