Peanut {Jack Russell Cross} - ADOPTED

It happened again.  It only took about 2 minutes before I was smitten.  This time with Peanut.  It took all my will power to not scoop him up and take him home with me.


Peanut came to us from a kill shelter in Beverly Hills.  He has made a very long journey to find happiness.  When we let him down in the field (along with Sidney another dog from the same place that you'll meet tomorrow) he was soooo happy.  Just look at him run.
   

Peanut is a two year old terrier cross. He does great with other dogs, is pretty interested in cats (but would probably do OK with a dog savvy cat with a bit of work) and is housetrained and crate trained.


His big ears are up most of the time, but the left one occasionally does this cute little flop that I just loved.



Peanut loves to snuggle and give kisses but can be a little shy to start.  He would be better in a home with older (or calmer) children as sudden quick movements can make him nervous.  He is currently being fostered with a dog savvy five year old boy and they are getting along great.


Peanut is a total ham and is very playful.  He loves toys and can be trusted off leash. These pictures all show him trailing a leash as they had literally arrived that day and we weren't sure how much we could trust him yet!


If you or someone you know, would like to adopt Peanut, please contact us!
