Peanut

Meet Peanut, a one-year-old Weimaraner mix lovingly nicknamed Little Boy, who has a quiet charm and a personality all his own. Peanut is a handsome chocolate brown boy with soft floppy ears and stunning amber eyes that seem to say exactly what he’s thinking. He’s both dog- and people-friendly, but if he had to choose, he’d pick a human cuddle buddy every time. Couch naps are serious business for Peanut. If you’re sitting anywhere other than the couch, he’ll look at you with the saddest eyes and make little noises until you join him, at which point he’ll hop up, press against you, and settle in for a perfectly content snooze.<br/><br/>Peanut is house trained and crate trained, and when left alone for four to eight hours he relaxes comfortably in his crate. He does well with other dogs in the 30–70 pound range, though he prefers to play rough right from the start and not all dogs appreciate his enthusiastic style. He can also be a bit grumbly if another dog disturbs his nap, but he has never snapped or shown aggression. He’s good with older children, especially tweens and teens, but younger kids or runners can excite him and cause him to jump, so supervision and structure are important.<br/><br/>This sweet boy has a sensitive stomach and does best on low-ingredient food, treats, and chews. He enjoys walks and gets very excited to be out and about, though he does pull and does best wearing a harness. At parks, a shorter leash is recommended since he may jump toward runners or kids playing ball. Peanut enjoys car rides too and will serenade you with little noises until he eventually settles in. Being on the smaller side, he does need a boost getting into the car.<br/><br/>Peanut loves toys he can pounce on, especially squeaky toys and balls, though squeakies without stuffing are best since he tends to eat the floof. He also enjoys chews and a good game of tug-of-war. He’s perfectly happy playing on his own, but he also enjoys interactive play and will happily chase another dog along a fence line. In the evenings, he’s an old soul and usually puts himself to bed by 9 p.m. He knows commands like “get in your box” and “no,” and he’s currently working on sit and shake.<br/><br/>Peanut is a true character with endlessly endearing habits. He sleeps belly-up, chases bubbles, butterflies, and even a laser pointer, and sometimes blows bubbles in his water bowl just for fun. He may not wag his tail often, but he shows love in subtle, meaningful ways through expressive looks, gentle sounds, and his insistence that you sit with him on the couch. Peanut would do well traveling on a multi-day transport to his new home, as he may vocalize at first but will settle with time.<br/><br/>If Peanut could say one thing, it would be simple and heartfelt: sit with me on the couch so I can take a nap. He’s ready to find a home that appreciates his unique personality, gentle companionship, and quiet devotion.<br/><br/><br/>To see more pictures and videos, copy and paste this link.
