Our adoption fees vary. Each biography will specifically list the adoption fee.Adoption fee: $650 Meet the Charlie Brown puppies: Linus, Lucy, and Peanut — a trio of tiny Chugs who may be small in size, but are already big on personality. Rescued from the shelter at just six weeks old, these little peanuts have now reached 8 weeks old and are in the 4–6 lb range. Much like their Peanuts namesakes, they each bring something very different (and very entertaining) to the table. Daily routine (because even puppies appreciate a good schedule): The day starts bright and early between 6–7am with everyone heading outside for potty time. Once business is handled, the puppies usually romp around together before heading back inside for breakfast at 7am. After that, it’s a classic puppy cycle of nap, play, potty, repeat. They eat lunch at 12pm and dinner at 6pm, with frequent outdoor potty breaks and playtime sprinkled throughout the day. In the evening, all the pups pile onto the couch for movie-time cuddles before heading back into their x-pen for bedtime at 9pm. While the family is at work or school, they stay safely in their pen and are taken out regularly for play and potty breaks. From scared shelter pups to confident little characters: When they first arrived, the puppies were understandably overwhelmed. The first few nights included some middle-of-the-night crying as they adjusted to a new environment. After a few days of decompressing, and especially after their first week, their true personalities began to shine. Now they are confident, playful, affectionate puppies who clearly feel safe and loved. Meet the cast: Linus is the perfect balance of calm and playful. He enjoys wrestling with his sisters just as much as he enjoys settling down. He is a great communicator and will always let you know when he's ready for some snuggle time. Lucy lives up to her name as the outspoken one. She is spirited, brave, and loves playtime. Lucy is always ready for adventures, exploring new things, and making new friends. Peanut is the quiet observer and resident cuddle expert. She is happiest curled up in a lap or nestled into a pile of blankets. She’s calm and gentle, until her siblings push their luck— then she’ll remind them she can hold her own. Social skills: These puppies live with two resident dogs (one tiny, one about 20 lbs) and generally do very well with them. They especially love playing and wrestling with the smaller dog. They also live with two boys, ages 11 and 13, and get very excited to see them— expect enthusiastic face-licking. Like most puppies, they do enjoy chewing on hands and fingers, but they redirect well to bully sticks and toys. Energy level: Linus and Lucy are the more energetic duo who love to play and wrestle, while Peanut is more of a couch-loving lounger who prefers cuddling, especially with kids. Potty training and habits: They are familiar with potty pads and a doggy door. In their pen, they consistently potty only on the pads and never on blankets or bedding. Outdoor potty training is underway and improving, though weather has made consistency a bit challenging. They usually potty quickly when taken to grass or turf. Ideal home: A home with kids and/or other dogs would be a dream for these puppies. They thrive on interaction, play, and companionship, and would love a yard where they can zoom, wrestle, and explore. Why they’re special: These puppies are affectionate, playful, and easy to care for—just good, loving pups who want to be part of a family. One of the foster’s favorite moments is watching them wind down and fall asleep in a tangled pile of tiny bodies, which feels very on-brand for a Peanuts bedtime scene. Whether you’re looking for a Lucy who keeps life lively, a Linus who brings balance, or a Peanut who excels at cuddling, this trio is ready to bring a little comic-strip joy into your home.January 7, 2026, 11:46 am
