Peanut

Meet Peanut, a one-year-old Weimaraner mix affectionately known as Little Boy. Peanut has a quiet charm and a personality all his own. He's a handsome chocolate brown boy with soft floppy ears and stunning amber eyes that seem to speak volumes. He's friendly with both dogs and people, 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 not on the couch, he'll look at you with the saddest eyes and make little noises until you join him. Once you do, he'll hop up, press against you, and settle in for a perfectly content snooze.

Peanut is house-trained and crate-trained, settling comfortably in his crate when left alone for four to eight hours. He gets along well with other dogs in the 30-70 pound range, though he prefers to play roughly 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 shown aggression. He's good with older children, especially tweens and teens, but younger children or fast-moving individuals can excite him and cause him to jump, so supervision and structure are important.

This sweet boy has a sensitive stomach and does best on low-ingredient food, treats, and chews. He enjoys walks and gets very excited to be out and about, though he does pull and best wears a harness. At parks, a shorter leash is recommended as he may jump towards runners or children playing ball. Peanut also enjoys car rides and will serenade you with little noises until he settles. Being on the smaller side, he does need a boost getting into the car.

Peanut loves toys he can pounce on, especially squeaky toys and balls. Stuffing-free squeakies are best, as he tends to eat the stuffing. He also enjoys chews and a good game of tug-of-war. He's perfectly happy playing on his own but also enjoys interactive play and will happily chase another dog along a fence line. In the evenings, he's an old soul and usually puts himself to bed by 9 p.m. He knows commands like "get in your box" and "no," and he's currently working on "sit" and "shake."

Peanut is a true character with endlessly endearing habits. He sleeps belly-up, chases bubbles, butterflies, and even a laser pointer, and sometimes blows bubbles in his water bowl just for fun. He may not wag his tail often, but he shows love in subtle, meaningful ways through expressive looks, gentle sounds, and his insistence that you sit with him on the couch. Peanut would do well traveling on a multi-day transport to his new home; he may vocalize at first but will settle with time. If Peanut could say one thing, it would be simple and heartfelt: "Sit with me on the couch so I can take a nap." He's ready to find a home that appreciates his unique personality, gentle companionship, and quiet devotion.

Ideal Home

Peanut thrives in a home with older children (tweens and teens). Supervision and structure are important to manage his excitement around younger children or fast movements. He does well with other dogs in the 30-70 pound range but can be a bit boisterous in play. He needs a home that understands his sensitive stomach and can accommodate his need for a boost into vehicles.

Ongoing Health

Peanut has a sensitive stomach and does best on low-ingredient food, treats, and chews.
