Peanut

Do you own an unreasonable number of fleece blankets? Does every couch, chair, and dog bed in your home have at least one? If so, congratulations—you may already be well on your way to be pre‑approved to adopt Peanut. Peanut is a quirky, cuddly 10 to 12 year old chiweenie who believes blankets are a lifestyle. His favorite place in the world is burrowed underneath one, preferably pressed right up against his human. He’s a champion snuggler, a short‑walk enthusiast, and a firm believer that dinner should never—ever—be late. If you’re five minutes behind schedule, expect dramatic side‑eye and a quick round of indoor parkour to remind you of your responsibilities. As a senior gentleman, Peanut has completed all of his wellness checks and is in good spirits. He does have a small heart murmur, which is common for dogs his age, and his radiant little smile comes courtesy of the teeth he still proudly has—he wears it well. He gets along well with humans and most dogs, and he’s generally a friendly little guy out in the world. He can be a bit protective of his food and high‑value treats, so he should be separated from other pets during mealtimes or special snacks. He’s had a couple of grumpy moments with another dog in his foster home—nothing unusual for a small senior with big feelings—but he’s easily managed with awareness and routine. Peanut has seen cats on walks and is curious but not reactive. With slow introductions and supervision, he could likely coexist peacefully with a calm feline roommate. If you’re looking for a dog who will make you laugh daily, keep your blankets warm, and bring a whole lot of personality into your home, Peanut is your guy. Adopt him today and enjoy life with a tiny comedian wrapped in fleece.<br/><br/>Peanut is currently being fostered in Utah.<br/><br/>Rocky Mountain Dachshund Rescue (RMDR) has foster families in Colorado, Nevada, Utah, Montana, and Wyoming. Please check the dog’s location before your apply to adopt them. You will need to pick them up. RMDR DOES NOT TRANSPORT THE DOG TO YOU or transport them across state lines.<br/><br/>The Colorado Department of Agriculture requires that all dogs entering PACFA-licensed facilities have a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI) issued by an accredited veterinarian within 30 days of entry. Dogs over three months of age must also have proof of a current rabies vaccination, including the vaccination date, manufacturer, and serial number listed on the CVI. Puppies must receive parvovirus and distemper vaccinations at least 14 days before entry.<br/><br/>These PACFA requirements may affect the adoption fee. For questions, please email us at contact@rmdr.org.<br/><br/>At RMDR, adoptions are not first-come, first-served—we carefully place each dog in the home that best fits their needs. Applications are usually reviewed within 48 hours. Every RMDR dog is spayed/neutered, microchipped, and current on vaccinations.<br/><br/>If you’d like to be considered, please start our online adoption application here: https://rockymountaindachshundrescue.com/adopt
