My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Peanut is 7 years young, 21lbs, and has a lot of get up and go! She loves, loves, loves to go on walks and gets so excited when her harness and leash come out. She also loves to go for car rides and likes to look out of the window or stare adoringly at her human.

Peanuts favorite place in the home is on the back of the sofa, looking out of the picture window, watching the world go by. She is an agile little girl, even though she is still a little plump. She has been taught to use ramps so she doesn't hurt herself jumping down.

Peanut is a shy dog on first meeting and gets a little nervous if you reach out to her before she is ready. If you are patient and sit down, she will come to you. Once she knows you are safe, she will then start pestering you for pets and cuddles. She warms up pretty quickly if you take her for a walk first.

Peanut does have special needs. She came into rescue with a bladder full of stones. She has since had surgery to remove them. However, to prevent them recurring she will need to be on a special diet for life. She will also require a vet visit once a year. Fortunately she likes the food and she doesn't eat much. 1/2 cup a day.

Peanut is good with other dogs and cats. We do not recommend her in a home with small children as their fast and eratic movements will scare her. She would be great for someone who wants a lap dog, but still enjoys a brisk walk or two a day. Someone who will make sure she stays on her diet.

Peanut is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. She is potty trained and knows how to use a dog door. She is a quiet dog, although if her BFF Tiki starts to bark at a noise its possible she will join in to show her support.

More about this rescue

We are a registered 501(c)(3) non- profit, charitable organization. Our mission is to rescue dogs from overcrowded and high kill shelters, and place them in loving homes. We also strive to educate the public on responsible pet ownership, and the importance of spay/neuter, so that one day there will no longer be adoptable dogs, euthanized by the thousands in our shelters. We are an all volunteer organization. 100% of donations go directly to the care of the dogs.
