My personality

My story

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

We have a transport where we will be personally driving our dogs home leaving on either 12/13/25 to NorCal, OR, and WA. Surrounding states will be added to our route as needed ☺️ We would love to add Peanut to our trip for the right home!

Peanut may be tiny, but the impression he leaves on your heart is anything but. He is a Shih Tzu–Yorkie mix with a soft, hypoallergenic coat and the most endearing personality you could hope to find in a little companion. At just under 5 pounds, he is a joyful mix of curiosity, sweetness, and snuggly affection, the kind of puppy who looks at you like you’re the very best part of his world. When you scoop him up, he holds onto you gently with his tiny paws and tucks his head into your chest, melting into you as if he was made for closeness. He loves to explore, loves to be carried, and loves every moment he gets to spend with his person.



Peanut is wonderfully well-rounded—playful yet calm, confident yet incredibly gentle, outgoing yet deeply loving. He enjoys the company of other dogs and cats and will happily join in on playtime the moment it begins, though he is just as content being the only pet as long as he has toys to toss around, a warm bed to curl into, and a person who loves him. His heart is simple and sincere: as long as he has companionship, affection, and a few adventures sprinkled into life, he is perfectly content.



He is crate trained and very accustomed to using his crate for nighttime sleep or daytime naps. Whether his next family uses a crate regularly or not, he transitions easily and sees it as a safe, familiar space. He is leash trained and enjoys being out in the world, trotting along proudly beside you, but his favorite place will always be right in your arms—he truly cherishes being held. Inside the home, Peanut is very well behaved. He is not a barker and only occasionally offers a small alert if something unfamiliar catches his attention, but overall he moves through his day unfazed and happy. He is house trained and on a good 3–4 hour potty schedule. Due to his tiny size—and his very brave, carefree nature—he is always supervised outside here, as he has no idea he isn’t big enough to make friends with wildlife.



He is wonderful for the groomer, loves road trips, and is always excited to see what the day brings. He plays sweetly, naps easily, listens well, and brings a gentle joy into any space he’s in. For such a small dog, he carries a lot of heart, and he gives every bit of it to the people he loves. Peanut is truly as tender, loving, and delightful as they come.



His adoption fee is on our website at the bottom of his adoption listing at https://www.breadoflifek9refuge.org/post/peanut-1

Peanut is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and has had a full dental cleaning and polish, along with a complete exam from our veterinarian. His adoption fee helps cover all of his veterinary care, his dental cleaning, microchip, the months of care he has received with us, his grooming upkeep, and the training and foundation we have personally put into him to prepare him for this next chapter in his life.

1.

Interview

When we have out of area adoptions, we always schedule a phone interview first to ensure the dog inquired about is the perfect fit.

2.

We request photos/videos of your home and yard space to ensure it's safe for the dog you are inquiring about.

3.

Sign Adoption Contract

Once all requirements are met, we will schedule a travel plan to bring your pup/dog to you. Adoption contracts are usually signed in person.

4.

Pay Fee

Adoption fees are paid in person, unless other arrangements have been made due to distance/travel plans requiring fees to be paid ahead
