He has not met cats or kids yet, but would likely get along with both if given the space he needs to become comfortable with them first.Peanut is mostly crate trained, but still needs encouragement to go inside since he would rather be with his person. He is house trained when kept on a regular schedule and he will need some more practice at leash walking.Peanut has lots of love to give a lucky family!

Story
Trudy is a just-over-a-year-old sweetheart who made her way to Massachusetts all the way from Puerto Rico in hopes of finding her forever home. Her journey hasn’t always been easy, Trudy was found all alone in an abandoned house and in poor condition. Thankfully, a kind rescuer stepped in, giving her the second chance at life she so deeply deserved. She already knows basic commands like sit and stay, enjoys toys that keep her entertained, and is happy to settle in for the night—she’ll sleep straight through until morning. Ask her for a kiss, and she’ll gladly give you one right back. Trudy is playful, energetic, and incredibly lovable. She’ll thrive best in an active household where she can run, play, and burn off her happy energy with plenty of daily activity. With her joyful spirit and affectionate nature, Trudy is sure to bring endless love, laughter, and kisses to the lucky family who welcomes her home. Trudy has joined our extended stay program, meaning her fee has been reduced in hopes to find her forever home!Does Trudy sound like the right fit for you?
