Here's what the humans have to say about me:
We have a very special dog to introduce….please meet Peanut, just look at that FACE! This sweet little pup, is unusual in that she essentially chose us.
Over the summer, Peanut simply appeared at the door of one of our very dedicated fosters’ home. All I can say is that Peanut must have an intuitive sense about finding help…she chose the exact right driveway to wander up. It was clear, not only did Peanut need some TLC but she was also about to become our first-ever “honorary pit bull”.
After weeks of attempting to locate any possible owners and watching this adorable, silly-hearted girl rebound, we are ready to help her begin her search for an amazing forever family!
Peanut is very much a clown, she’s happy, fun loving and energetic! She is on the moderate+ end of the energy scale and would appreciate a fenced yard to romp around in or plenty of regular exercise. Peanut gets along well with other dogs and she actually thoroughly enjoys the company of other social doggie playmates. She loves to snuggle and wants to be doing whatever you're doing, including riding in the car. Peanut has earned the run of the house at her foster home and is comfortable and capable of being home, for 6 to 7 hours a day while her foster mom works. With her pile of chew toys, cozy spot on the couch and trusty canine companion, she has done incredibly well adjusting to her routine.
Peanut is not a “barky” dog but she will alert to deliveries or if someone approaches the house, she will bark appropriately, which can be reassuring and purposeful. She adores kids but can be a bit wiggly when excited, so she may be best-matched to a home with dog savvy or slightly older kids. More than anything, Peanut is loving the life of an indoor, well-loved rescued dog and she’s looking for her people…she’s ready for the next step and loads of adventure!
