We're looking for a long-term/forever foster for Peanut (aka Mama). She's desperate for a kind person who will want to hold her on their lap or in their arms throughout the day. Little Mama is the sweetest little thing. She wags her tail so quickly, that we think she's part rattlesnake. You will melt when she looks up at you with big puppy dog eyes and laid-back ears. Mama wants you to pick her up. She lives for it. Mama likes all kinds of affection but especially loves tummyy rubs and lap time. Despite her addiction to cuddles, she will rest quietly on her own when you are busy. She is even content to be home alone for 8 hours a day. She is not destructive in the house but, like most dogs, she will chew/swallow food-related items (wrappers, containers, pits). Because she is so small, things that don't hurt other dogs could kill her, so please be a conscientious person if you apply to be her guardian. Mama does not need to be walked daily but should get plenty of fresh air and have a safe place indoors or out to run around. She will zoom about the house and tire herself out from time to time. It's adorable. She will also play with your hand as if it were another little dog. It is super cute. Mama is living with dogs and cats but is not thrilled about it. She would prefer to be an only pet, but can live with another pet if the adopter is careful not to let Mama be a bully and vice versa. She can't be trusted with small kittens but she's been fine with our adult cats. Mama is really good off-leash at a fenced dog park. She is Crate trained. She is pee pad and doggy door trained. She is good on leash, but can't walk far due an old injury. Mama is doing well on a prescription hydrolyzed protein diet with a few medications added to her meals (to soothe her digestive tract). She's allergic to cooked (and raw?) beef, dairy, and probably eggs. She should not be subjected to further vaccination because it can exacerbate food allergies and create more intolerances. She has a non-specified liver condition yet is doing well on a special formula we make for her that is one of the medicines added to her food. Thank you for reading about Mama. She is looking forward to meeting you.
If you have any questions or would like to adopt Peanut I'm only 6 lbs, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
