Meet Peanut, a one-year-old Weimaraner mix with 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. Peanut is house trained and crate trained, and when left alone for four to eight hours he relaxes comfortably in his crate. 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. He's good with older children, especially tweens and teens, but younger kids or runners can excite him and cause him to jump, so supervision and structure are important.
Ideal Home
Peanut would do well in a home with older children, especially tweens and teens. He does best with other dogs in the 30-70 pound range, but his play style can be enthusiastic. Younger children or runners may excite him and cause him to jump, so supervision and structure are important.
Ongoing Health
Peanut has a sensitive stomach and does best on low-ingredient food, treats, and chews.
Training & Support
Peanut is house trained and crate trained. He knows commands like "get in your box" and "no," and he's currently working on "sit" and "shake." He pulls on walks and does best wearing a harness. At parks, a shorter leash is recommended since he may jump toward runners or kids playing ball. Peanut enjoys car rides too and will serenade you with little noises until he eventually settles in. Being on the smaller side, he does need a boost getting into the car.

Transporation
Peanut is available for transport and would do well traveling on a multi-day transport to his new home, as he may vocalize at first but will settle with time.
