ADOPTED!
Meet Peanut! She's a small dog with a great big heart and a little bitty underbite.
Peanut is a two-year-old good girl weighing in at just 20 pounds. She was with her brother, Butter, running in and out of traffic on a busy road when they were spotted by a good Samaritan.
It took over an hour, and lots of dodging traffic to finally encourage these two into the safety of their vehicle. Butter has found his forever home and now it's Peanut's turn to find happiness.
She's more than a dog, she's a coworker, sous chef, personal assistant, hype man, superfan, fashion accessory and more. She does it all!
Peanut was born to be someone's best friend and a good friend to everyone else she meets. She has met dozens of new people in the short time she's been in New Jersey and has been wonderful with every one of them. She learns to trust quickly and will even let a new friend pick her up or take her outside to go potty. She's friendly with people of all ages, including even the loudest toddlers. She greets other animals with some apprehension and requires just a little bit of patience from her animal friends but quickly warms up to respectful dogs AND cats.
She'd do well in a home with other animals or without. She's a "people" dog more than anything.
Peanut is fully house broken and goes outside with no complaint, even in the frigid cold. She sleeps quietly overnight in a crate but prefers to sleep snuggled up with you in bed. She loves to follow her person (or spare person if she must) everywhere they go.
Keeping an eye on you is her full-time job and she's aiming for a bonus this year. She'll hang out in an office chair while you work or cozy up next to you on the couch for a movie night.
Peanut doesn't require much activity. She's laid back, quiet and low maintenance. She's happy to hop in the car with you for a scenic drive or a quick trip to the store. She enjoys wandering around exploring the yard and comes back to the door when called.
Peanut is no personal trainer and is not going to push you to meet those fitness goals, but she'll go for a casual stroll with you any day. She's made for lazy days, but she'll be motivated if it makes you happy. As a matter of fact, she'll do just about anything to make you happy!
She's eager to please and only asks for belly rubs and a little treat here or there. A singular piece of shredded cheddar cheese will make you a hero in Peanut's eyes.
We're not sure of Peanut's breed.
Possibilities may include:
Lhasa Apso, S**t tzu, Tibetan Terrier, Schnauzer, Poodle, Schnoodle, Mezzi Rigatoni Noodle, North American Cheddar Hound, Fainting goat, Ewok
Whatever the breed, if you're looking for the perfect companion, Peanut is more than qualified for the job. We can provide plenty of references to boost her already shining resume.
Love,
Her foster mom
