Story
Hi! My name is Peanut and I am a 9 year old, 17 lb Miniature Schnauzer. I might be a little guy but boy do I have a big personality! You will see this come out when someone comes to the door to visit!
I came into rescue with my older brother Max after we lost our Dad and our Mom realized she couldn't care for us anymore. Since then, Max has crossed the rainbow bridge.
Although I was the enthusiastic one of us two, Max was definitely the wiser one. I looked up to him with admiration because he wasn't just my brother; he was my rock. Together, we faced many great days and also many challenges, including diabetes. Our journey wasn't always easy, but through it all, Max and I remained by each other's side, stronger and better because we were together. I am learning how to live life without him and although he is missed, I am doing just fine finding my way.
Despite facing the challenge of diabetes, I'm not letting anything hold me back. My eyes, warm and wise, have seen many things, yet they still sparkle with hope. Managing my diabetes is part of my routine, but it doesn't define me. It's simply part of who I am.
Now, I'm searching for a forever family who understands that managing my health isn't hard, it just takes some education is all. To the family who welcomes me into their home, you'll receive all the love that knows no bounds. In return, I'll offer you lifelong loyalty, endless cuddles, and an abundance of cherished memories.
Peanut is up to date on vaccinations, 4DX tested, microchipped and neutered.
We are in the process of applying for a grant that will provide Peanut's family with funding to offset some of the costs associated with their care. In addition, we are working with a pet diabetic company that has agreed to send their family a basket filled with all the supplies they will need to get started, free of charge.
Peanut would do best in a home with a physically fenced in yard so he can safely explore as much as his little heart desires.
