Story
Meet Peanut! Peanut and his littermates were surrendered by their owner whose dog had an 'accidental' litter. Their mom was a medium size Beagle mix dog. We can't be sure who dad was but we think he must have also been a mystery mix. The pups all have unique coloring. We think they will grow to be medium to large dogs. At around 7 weeks of age they are ranging from 7-10 lbs. Their full grown size is just an estimate but possibly in the 50 lbs range. This litter of puppies is just lovely. They all have great temperaments, are well socialized and get along with all other animals. Our foster homes are doing their best to get them started on some basic training and socialization and it is important that this work continues. When adopting a puppy there is a golden opportunity to raise them well and teach them well so that they can grow up to be good canine citizens. We really want to find them families who will be dedicated to helping them learn and grow. From Peanut's foster: Peanut starts out a little reserved, then explodes into puppy cuteness and trust. In a new situation, he'll watch from afar, then jump in with all 4 paws. He knows what he's comfortable with and will not hesitate to back off and stand under a chair to observe if the situation changes. He looks like a serious puppy in his photos, but his personality is very goofy and playful! If you offer up your lap for snuggling, he will happily climb in. If you don't offer up your lap but you walk by his crate, he will vocally tell you that he thinks you should pick him up and let him play or cuddle. He is learning his beagle voice, which is still a puppy whine/cry, with a few barks leaking out as he learns. If you want to get this attention, food or toys are the way to go. He loves food. All food, at any time of day or night and regardless of whether he just finished a meal. He needs to be separated from other puppies during feeding time because he will eat his, and then push them out of the way to get to theirs too. Hand feeding or a puzzle feeder slows him down. Being food motivated is handy for training! Peanut would also like you to know he's excellent at pouncing on things, including shoes, soft toys and tennis balls. He also enjoys playing tug of war with his sister, which he tends to "win" because he weighs more than she does. Peanut is mischievous and a delight! Puppies are mouthy, bitey, naughty and sometimes smelly. They may eat your kid's toys and pee in your house. They may chew up your favorite shoes or get into the Halloween chocolate. They can't stay home alone too long and if you don't train them well they will grow from little gremlins into big problems. Puppies are a bit commitment! If you are ready for the challenge, we are here to support you. We have great resources, a great trainer and lots of moral support as you explore the wonders of puppy parenthood! All of the pups have received their first puppy vaccinations and are dewormed and chipped.They will be neutered or spayed between 8-12 months of age at our cost. Their adoption fee is $525. Applications can be sent to savinggreatanimals.org. We review them in the order received. All puppy meet and greets take place in the foster home. We cover the medical to prepare the pet for adoption and the adopt donations go directly to cover those costs and range from $295-$495. Thank you for stepping up to save a life! To expedite to meet with this dog, please go to our site at www.savinggreatanimals.org and fill out an application. We look at the first applications to arrive, so we hope to hear from you soon!
