Peanut, the Dog of the Day
Name: Peanut
Age: Four years old
Gender: Female Breed: Chihuahua
Home: Alabama, USA
 
   My name is Peanut. Mom and Dad rescued me almost three years ago. Dad was watching the local news. The reporter was at the animal shelter showing this big German Shepherd. Dad said that was just the dog they needed to guard their fenced in yard at night. So Mom and Dad went to get him. When they arrived, the attendant showed them the dog. The Shepherd was aggressive, which is probably why he was turned in. Since they had other dogs, they didn't want one like him, just in case.

    On the way out, Mom saw me, all by myself, in a cement enclosure. She said, "Let's get her instead!" Dad just smiled, and I came home with them. At first, some of their other dogs weren't too happy about me being a member of the family. Only, "Shadow", the pug, wanted to be my friend. Pugs like everybody. After a short time, my bubbly personality won everyone over. This is a great forever home. I have three sisters and two brothers. We all get along, except the two brothers - imagine that.

    There is plenty of food, we go on walks several times a day, and we sleep in a bed. They should have called me "Lucky" instead of "Peanut." Mom takes pictures of us all of the time. Here are a few more of me and my family. Life is good, for all of us.

   Your friend,
   Peanut
