There's nothing quite like puppy energy and silliness! Peanut is a tiny, almost 8-week-old Chihuahua mix puppy who currently weighs just 2.5 pounds. We expect he'll be a small adult, likely around 10-12 pounds when fully grown, though that's just our best estimate. Peanut's mom is full-grown at 10lbs.
As for breed? Your guess is almost as good as ours! We suspect the pups could have some Pug in them too. Peanut's story began in rural New Mexico, where his mom was surrendered to a rescue partner shelter, and we were able to step in and bring this little family to safety. Peanut is finally ready to go home with his forever family now!
Ideal Home
Peanut is looking for a family ready for all the fun, laughter, training, and occasional chaos that comes with a young puppy. Puppies require patience, consistency, socialization, training, and lots of love as they learn about the world around them. In return, you'll get the incredible experience of watching a tiny puppy grow into your best friend. We feel that Peanut would do great in a home with someone who works from home and has the time and energy to train a young puppy. We would feel comfortable with him going to a family with kids 6+ years of age.
Ongoing Health
Peanut will only have his first puppy shot at the time of being ready for adoption. It is very important that his adopter get him the 2nd and 3rd shot when those are due. It is so important to know that Peanut cannot go out on public ground until he has his last 2 booster shots. Peanut is also too young to be neutered at this time. Wags covers the full cost of his neuter when that time comes. Neuter is required to finalize any adoption and must be done before or by the time he turns 1 year old.
Training & Support
Since Peanut is just a puppy, he's a blank slate just waiting for a kind and patient human to show him the way. We are not willing to adopt to someone who is unable to commit to taking Peanut to puppy socialization classes and training.
