Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
I found a new home! Plenty of my friends are looking for one too. Check out other pets at this shelter, or start a new search.

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Peanut - JRT/Maltese - Male - 1 year - www.twyla.org
If you'd like to know more about this dog please visit our website at www.Twyla.org
Meet Peanut: This gorgeous 1-year-old neutered male Terrier mix came to us shy and a little nervous. We think he's probably a JRT mixed with some Maltese, but either way he's 100% adorable Lapdog. At 9lbs he loves to be held and be close to his human.
Peanut is still learning that Toddlers make unexpected movements and noises that he's not a fan of, but they also drop food and treats, which is he a fan of, so he is learning trade-offs. He is realizing that "hiding" on the top of the Sofa back is out of reach for the toddler in his fosters home and can be used as a time-out safety spot. He follows the resident dogs and cats for outside time and is getting the hang of house training - until he's mastered that he is not complaining about wearing bellybands. Leash walking is still new to him and he's getting better, he does ride quietly in the car.
Peanut is looking for a home with (older, calmer) children or without, preferably with another companion dog for him to learn from and follow. He may be able to handle regular working hours provide he receives sufficient exercise and attention around those hours. He is a Velcro dog that will follow you closely and likes being held.
***Please note: All dogs are fostered in private homes of volunteers, so to meet a dog please fill out an Adoption Application on our website (http://www.twyla.org/adopt/our-adoption-process) so we may setup a private meetup with the dog or coordinate for an Introduction at the next general Adoption Meet and Greet (as listed on our website: (http://www.twyla.org/upcoming-events), as not all dogs attend all Meet and Greets***
