My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi, my name is Peanut. I am an 8-month old Hound Mix. I weigh about 40 pounds right now, but am hoping I grow into my long legs. I still act like I weigh 10 pounds. My foster family thinks I’m a little goofy when I get running too fast and slide sideways on the hardwood floors like a baby giraffe on an ice pond.

Speaking of ponds, I keep having to be told to stay out of the pond in the back yard, but I just love water and it’s right there! I absolutely love playing with other dogs, kids and whoever else can keep up. I don’t mind the cats, even though I have a feeling they don’t like dogs very much.

I walk great on a leash and am ready to go on long walks because being a hound, I was born to sniff around. Even though I like having everyone at home with me, I do fine being in a crate while the others go to work or school. I am still working on being housebroken, but am a very good listener and really smart, so I know it can’t be too difficult for me.

I am an active, playful pup, but I do love to settle in for the night and snuggle. I am neutered and up to date on all my shots, so let me know if you want to meet and possibly add me to your family. I would be the happiest dog in the world!!
