Do you own an unreasonable number of fleece blankets? Does every couch, chair, and dog bed in your home have at least one? If so, congratulations—you may already be well on your way to be pre-approved to adopt Peanut! Peanut is a quirky, cuddly 10 to 12 year old chiweenie who believes blankets are a lifestyle. His favorite place in the world is burrowed underneath one, preferably pressed right up against his human. He’s a champion snuggler, a short-walk enthusiast, and a firm believer that dinner should never—ever—be late. If you’re five minutes behind schedule, expect dramatic side-eye and a quick round of indoor parkour to remind you of your responsibilities. As a senior gentleman, Peanut has completed all of his wellness checks and is in good spirits. He does have a small heart murmur, which is common for dogs his age, and his radiant little smile comes courtesy of the teeth he still proudly has—he wears it well. He gets along well with humans and most dogs, and he’s generally a friendly little guy out in the world. If you’re looking for a dog who will make you laugh daily, keep your blankets warm, and bring a whole lot of personality into your home, Peanut is your guy. Adopt him today and enjoy life with a tiny comedian wrapped in fleece.
Ideal Home
Peanut would love a home with plenty of cozy blankets and a human who appreciates his snuggling skills. He enjoys short walks and has a strong opinion about dinner time!
Ongoing Health
Peanut has a small heart murmur, which is common for senior dogs.
Training & Support
Peanut can be a bit protective of his food and high-value treats, so he should be separated from other pets during mealtimes or special snacks. He has had a couple of grumpy moments with another dog in his foster home, but this is easily managed with awareness and routine. With slow introductions and supervision, he could likely coexist peacefully with a calm feline roommate, as he is curious but not reactive to cats on walks.
