Meet Peanut, a delightful youngster with a heart full of joy. This sweet, cuddly, and gentle soul is always ready to share affectionate kisses and snuggles. Curious and excitable, Peanut weighs 40 pounds and loves exploring the world on leash walks, though he can be a bit jumpy with new sights and sounds. He`ll need your help to learn about house training so please be patient as you teach him. He is insecure and likes staying close. Despite his occasional whines for attention, he`s a perfect lap dog who`s happiest when close to people. He`s needy and never wants to be alone. Peanut`s friendly and loving nature makes him an ideal companion for any home looking to add a bundle of love and happiness. Peanut is a bit rough with other dogs and can be jumpy and mouthy when playing with children, signaling a need for some loving training to shape his good behavior. Older children would be best and it would be a good idea to bring your dog to meet him. He is quite the goofball and enjoys running, toys, water, jumping, and the ever-popular zoomies. Adopt happy Peanut today and experience the pure joy of his companionship! (tw 1/10/2026) Click `Play` to meet Peanut.
