I'm 1 old (DOB 11/13/2024) and I weigh 14.6 lbs. I'm white and black in color. I'm neutered, Rabies shot, all sets of puppy shots, 4DX tested and negative, and had Proheart shot that is good for 6 months preventing heartworm disease. I've been to the vet on 09/10/2025, microchipped and ready to get on with my life in a forever home of my own. I'm housetrained and I'm crate trained. I am good with other dogs, big and small, and children, non reactive with cats. I'm very friendly and sweet. I'm a very loving boy. I will stick to you like velcro. I just need a loving family to complete my forever home. I was given up because my owner could not afford the surgery I needed. My front legs were deformed and one had to be amputated and the other one had 2 toes removed. When I run, you cannot tell I have only have 3 legs. I'm all healed up now and would make a great family dog!

Peter Cottontail is a 13-lb pocket gentleman with main-character energy and zero interest in drama. He’s estimated around 5 years old (birthday TBD because rescue life keeps things mysterious), and he’s possibly a Shih Tzu / wire-haired terrier mix… or maybe a rare woodland sprite who moonlights as a nap consultant. No promises on breed, but we can promise this: Peter is an absolute delight. Take a look at his unique, long-legged cuteness in action here: https://youtu.be/JrF3gcSHGJo He’s fostered in a loving home with a variety pack of dogs, and somehow he’s universally adored. Big, bold dogs? Peter’s unbothered. Small, sassy dogs? Peter’s still unbothered. He’s confident, socially savvy, and gives off “I’ve got this” vibes wherever he goes, whether he’s greeting new friends or simply wandering the yard like he’s inspecting the property lines of his kingdom. Peter is also the kind of dog who makes you wonder why everyone can’t be this easy to love. He’s crate trained, sleeps peacefully through the night, and is a total pro for grooming. Car ride? Hop in, your chauffeur awaits. New environment? Noisy and busy place? Peter handles it all with ease. He especially enjoys attention, and will happily wiggle his way into your heart while pretending he’s being cool and casual about it. On leash, he’s responsive and easy to guide, and keeps a great walking pace. With dogs, he’s calm and confident, reads social cues well, and is happy to share affection or treats without getting possessive. He’s not here to start trouble… he’s here to sniff, stroll, and look charming while doing it. Cats? Peter is sweet, curious, and respectful. He did wonderful when introduced to a house cat. He was gently interested, but easily redirected for cuddles or a sniff elsewhere. He’d likely do well with dog-savvy cats, or calm, cat-independent cats who won’t mind a tiny bunny-named roommate politely investigating their existence. Apartment friendly? Yes. Kid friendly? We can’t imagine why not. Peter’s overall vibe is confident and loving, and he’s been wonderfully easy to handle. If you’ve been searching for a small dog who’s equal parts charming houseguest, confident social butterfly, and adorable sidekick… Peter Cottontail is ready to hop straight into your life.
