Meet Peanut, a one-year-old Weimaraner mix lovingly nicknamed Little Boy, who has a quiet charm and a personality all his own. Peanut is a handsome chocolate brown boy with soft floppy ears and stunning amber eyes that seem to say exactly what he's thinking. He's both dog- and people-friendly, but if he had to choose, he'd pick a human cuddle buddy every time. Couch naps are serious business for Peanut. If you're sitting anywhere other than the couch, he'll look at you with the saddest eyes and make little noises until you join him, at which point he'll hop up, press against you, and settle in for a perfectly content snooze.
Ideal Home
Peanut is good with older children, especially tweens and teens. Younger kids or runners can excite him and cause him to jump, so supervision and structure are important. He does well with other dogs in the 30-70 pound range, though he prefers to play rough right from the start and not all dogs appreciate his enthusiastic style. He can also be a bit grumbly if another dog disturbs his nap, but he has never snapped or shown aggression.
Ongoing Health
This sweet boy has a sensitive stomach and does best on low-ingredient food, treats, and chews.
Training & Support
Peanut is house trained and crate trained, and when left alone for four to eight hours he relaxes comfortably in his crate. He pulls on leash and does best wearing a harness. At parks, a shorter leash is recommended since he may jump toward runners or kids playing ball. He knows commands like "get in your box" and "no," and he's currently working on "sit" and "shake." Peanut loves toys he can pounce on, especially squeaky toys and balls, though squeakies without stuffing are best since he tends to eat the floof. He also enjoys chews and a good game of tug-of-war.

Transportation
Peanut is located in Helena, MT. He would do well traveling on a multi-day transport to his new home, as he may vocalize at first but will settle with time.
