Here's what the humans have to say about me:
HI! My name is PEANUT!! I am a SEVEN year old YORKIE/ MIX. I came to the ark because my human was going to euthanize me for the way I act. I like to bark and I am very protective of the people who are taking care of me. I am not so used to strangers so I may have nipped them a few times in my old home. I will need to be crated when visitors are around. Now that the ARK is taking care of me I am learning how to behave. I am nervous meeting new people but I can get along with you if you are patient with me. Once I am used to you I like to be held and I really like food. I was already neutered, but I went to Community Animal Hospital, a full service Veterinary Hospital for comprehensive vetting. I received: Physical and Dental examinations, all age appropriate vaccinations, fecal analysis, flea/tick/heartworm prevention, and a dental. My teeth were polished and cleaned, scaled, and a fluoride treatment was applied. I did not require any extractions. I am housebroken and crate trained. I walk well on leash. My adoption fee, to help offset the complete veterinary care I received, is only $150. Please come visit me during adopter friendly hours, Monday - Friday, 1 pm - 5 pm. Hope to meet you soon!
