Peanut was among a number of dogs that a neighboring city's animal control had impounded from a home after Peanut's owner was deemed as having too many dogs. Peanut had recently had a litter of 6 pups at that time, sadly, only two of those pups survived and were adopted through SoCo Rescue. We were able to rescue Peanut and her pups just one day before they all would have been euthanized by the city's shelter.

Peanut is a very people-friendly dog and loves to show her affection towards them. Peanut has a very laid-back and calm demeanor. She's been in a foster home for the past few months and, most of the time, interacts very well with other dogs and has been indifferent towards the cats that are present at the home. However, there have been a couple of instances where Peanut and one of the other dogs have ended up in an altercation. These incidents may have been over food or after Peanut became irritable with an overly hyper dog as she prefers to be around dogs with a calmer personality. Therefore, we would recommend a "meet-and-greet" with any other dog that Peanut would share the home with. Peanut prefers being outdoors more so than indoors, but did display great house-training ability when she would stay inside. A home that would allow for Peanut to bask in the sun during the day would suit her best.

Peanut has been fully vetted and is currently up-to-date on all vaccinations, de-worming and monthly preventative care. While she was heartworm positive when she first arrived, Peanut did receive treatment for her heartworms and is now free and clear of them. was also heartworm positive at the time but has since been treated for them.
