Peanut's Story

Peanut (located in Grass Valley, CA)<br/><br/>Look at this face Peanut is so adorable and quirky. She came from a shelter and was not doing well she is a strange little dog we have no history for her. She takes some time to warm up, she is not a cuddly dog. She takes time to warm up but when she does her big personality shines through, but that does not mean she becomes instantly loveable and cuddy. It means she will do zoomies and explore more. Peanut has a strange gait, she has neurological issues. Sometimes she will circle like pacing. She is potty trained but does have accidents. <br/><br/>??SPECIAL NEEDS FEATURE: PEANUT!??<br/>Grass Valley, CA<br/>Did you know that we have special needs dogs in our rescue? Tonight we feature Peanut. She is a dear. ?<br/>Peanut was rescued from Front Street Animal Shelter in Sacramento, CA. She was not adoptable, as she had (and still has) difficulty trusting humans. It’s clear that humans have mistreated her.<br/>Since joining our rescue she has made incredible progress. She is with one of our most gentle and experienced fosters, who’s had the gentle, patient approach Peanut needs. Her foster has the following to share about Peanut’s current progress:<br/><br/>“Peanut loves to play with humans and toys. She loves chicken, treats, and eating in general! After months of work, she now loves to be pet and scratched behind the ears. However, she prefers to initiate it. (And will need to slowly build trust first.)<br/><br/>Peanut would do fine as an only dog. She is pee pad trained, with no interest in using the doggie door.<br/><br/>She has low energy, sleeps a lot, and does not have any interest in going on walks. She does not at all like to be held or picked up. She would do best with somebody who is home a lot and a homebody. She loves to be at home and doesn’t really like to go anywhere. It makes her too nervous. ??<br/><br/>Peanut loves lying in the sun, lying on the back of the couch and loves to sleep next to or look out a window. She never barks and rarely makes a noise. She is an easy dog! She just needs time to warm up to her person. Once she does, she’ll greet you at the front door, follow you around the house, lick your hands, feet, and ankles, and will come to you for affection or to play.”<br/>We truly have Noel to thank for committing and investing in, little Peanut. Peanut will need a special adopter who understands her unique needs and someone who will never push her outside of what conditions help her feel most safe.

Gunter's Legacy Animal Rescue, Inc.'s Adoption Policy
We are based in Claremont, CA . However, we have adoptable in Northern and Southern California. Please read each description of the animal for their location. You must live in California and within 1.5 hours of where the dog/cat is being fostered. All of our adoptable animals are given a thorough wellness checkup. Senior cats or dogs may receive additional tests, i.e., bloodwork. All receive a fecal, a heartworm test, DHPP, Rabies, Bordetella, and a microchip, and are neutered/spayed. We also provide any additional necessary tests, x-rays, ultrasounds, medications, and consults with specialists and necessary medical procedures.  All animals also receive comprehensive dental cleaning and extractions when deemed necessary by our veterinarians.  Step 1 - Application Adopter candidates are required to complete and submit an adoption application which will be reviewed by Gunter's Legacy Animal Rescue's Board of Directors. If the application is approved for the first step either a board member and/or the foster of the animal you are interested in will call you for a phone interview. Step 2 - Home Check Once the 1st step has been completed, reviewed, and receives initial approval, we will schedule a mandatory home check.  Step 3 - Meet & Greet If the 1st and 2nd step is approved, we will schedule a meet and greet with the potential adopters and dog(s). It is required that all members of the adoptive family must be present for the meet and greet. Step 4 - Pet Introduction If the adopter already has existing pets (dogs or cats), we require all the pets to be properly introduced by a member of Gunter's Legacy Animal Rescue. We will not adopt a dog into a home that has reached its city-mandated limit. All required steps must be completed and approved by the Board of Directors before finalizing the adoption. Adoption Process and Policies: Not all dogs listed on this website are currently available for adoption, each dog's bio will contain its availability We are a small non-profit rescue and we are completely run and operated by unpaid volunteers. We will try as much as possible to return all calls, emails, and statuses. All our dogs once cleared for adoption will be seeking permanent loving homes. Before applying to adopt, please understand we are looking for people and/or families who are ready and willing to commit to a dog for its entire lifespan. This could be up to 20 years. Adoption Requirements:? Adopters must be at least 25 years of age Please consider the age and size of the dog, a dog can live to be in their late teens to 20 years old please be mindful of a dog's age. Adopters must live in the state of California and within 1.5 hours of where the foster pet is located Must have a valid CA Drivers License or ID We cannot/will not guarantee any of our adoptable dogs are "hypoallergenic". No dog is hypoallergenic there are only low-shedding dogs. All current animals in the home must be spayed or neutered and fully vaccinated. Be willing and able to follow the mandatory adoption process and contract We do not adopt dogs or cats to families with children under the age of 10 years old  If you disagree we understand but this is our policy. This policy was thoroughly researched and an attorney and veterinarians were consulted before we wrote this policy. Anybody adopting an animal should do their research regarding the breed, potential size, characteristics, and known behavior of the dog they are adopting. Dogs/cats are not a one-size/breed fits all. The animal must be for the person(s) completing the adoption application. Must allow a representative to follow up with the adoptive family post-adoption at 2 weeks and again at 6 months Be willing to provide the adopted dog with premium food (not supermarket food), water, and regular medical care (vaccines, flea/heartworm treatment, dental, and any other medically necessary medications, procedures, etc.) for the rest of their natural life Agree to the Gunter's Legacy Animal Rescue Adoption Contract Agree that Gunter's Legacy Animal Rescue has the RIGHT to regain possession of the adopted dog without notice if any of the terms of the contract have been violated. Disclaimer: Some details about our dogs might have changed before we’ve been able to update our website. When we get in touch with you, we will have the most current information. Also, information about our dogs is based to the best of our knowledge, but we can make no guarantees about the dog’s health or temperament. Return Policy: We do try to make good adoption matches, and for our clients and our dogs to live happily together always. However, GLAR remains committed to the dogs for the remainder of their lives and will accept dogs back, by appointment, should it not work out. When adopting, we ask clients to be prepared and committed to providing the dog and themselves at least a week together to settle in prior to deciding to return the dog.
