Peanut

Meet Peanut, a four-month-old black and tan German Shepherd mix who is currently a 23-pound bundle of pure puppy joy! Do not let his current size fool you because this little guy has big plans to grow into a large dog weighing between 61 and 90 pounds. He is essentially a pocket size bear cub right now, preparing to be a giant size lap dog.Life is one big party for Peanut, enjoying the company of children and other dogs. He possesses that classic, explosive puppy energy that operates like a light switch, he is either zooming around at top speed or completely passed out asleep on his back. Peanut has not been introduced to cats yet, so it is unknown how he will be with them.Because Peanut is still a youngster, his daily schedule revolves around his Ivy League education in basic dog manners. His house training, leash walking, and crate training are all active works in progress. This means his future family will get to experience the comedy of a puppy trying to walk in a straight line on a leash, alongside the occasional midnight bathroom scramble. The perfect family for Peanut is one that embraces the beautiful, messy, and hilarious reality of raising a large breed puppy. Peanut needs humans who are ready to invest time in daily training games to keep his smart German Shepherd brain sharp and out of trouble. His dream home includes plenty of space to grow, a yard to romp in, and lots of hands ready to deliver belly rubs.If you are ready for giant puppy cuddles and a lifetime of laughs, Peanut is ready to join your pack. * When considering adoption, keep in mind that dogs thrive on structure and routine.
