My story

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

Meet Peanut!

Hello humans, my name is Peanut, and I have come here to be your best bud, and your everything! I'm a senior guy, weighing just 9 pounds, looking for his forever home, and I hope that I'm everything you've been looking for. Let me tell you just a few quick things about me so you know if I'm the love of your life, because I know I'd fit right in in just about any home! I do great with cats, and I prefer dogs who don't have a ton of energy and won't be in my face all the time. I could live with the small humans, as long as they are gentle and kind to me. I'm house trained, and almost always use a pee pad. I also do well in a crate if you need to put me in one as well! Let be real, though. I would go everywhere with you if I could!

My most favorite thing in the whole entire world is my humans! I will sit with you on the couch, I will let you hold me all day, and I will go on car rides (like a champ) with you. I also really enjoy soft treats and playing fetch with any sort of small toys. I am a small dog, after all. Foster mom has been feeding me watered down kibble to make it soft, and I really kinda like that! I enjoy being outside and going for walks with my humans, too. But I don't really like thunderstorms or fireworks. Those are my least favorite things in life. Foster mom has been taking really good care of me while I've been at her house, but she says now that I'm all healthy, I can find my forever people! She says I will be happy and loved with them too. We just need to look for the perfect home for me. That makes me so happy to think about! Maybe you are my people, and your home is meant to be mine too!
