Peanut Butter

My story

Apply to Adopt Me! Peanut Butter is the sweetest girl! This 5yo, 7.6 lb. Chiweenie (chihuahua/mini dachshund mix) is timid at first and will need time to get to know you before she will commit to being your friend. But once she does, she is your bestie! She favors women, is skittish around men and may never warm up to a male in the home, so for that reason we are adopting her to an all-female home only. She loves to cuddle in the human bed at night (this is a must for her) and sleeps all through the night under the covers. With her short legs, she will need stairs or a ramp onto the bed and couch. She is house trained and loves, loves her daily walks, doing a happy dance when the harness and leash come out. She enjoys her brisk walks, stopping to sniff along the way, and is energized when she sees a squirrel teasing her. Daily walks are a must for her. She is non-reactive to people and dogs on her walks. She also loves searching out lizards. Belly rubs are also a favorite. She is dog and cat friendly (ignores a cat), and gains comfort from a fur sibling. Her forever home must have another friendly dog in the home because when she is left alone she has severe separation anxiety. She loves meal times and getting treats. She cutely stands on her hind legs waiting for her treat. She loves chewing on a Benebone or chew bone. One of her favorite things is sun bathing on the screened-in porch area. She isn’t a big barker, but does bark when she perceives danger. She does well riding in a car in her doggy booster seat. Once she gets used to her new situation and comes out of her shell, she is a happy and fun little dog. She is sad when she is left behind, and cries for a little while, so we are wanting someone for her who is home most of the time. We want a smaller fenced yard for her to run around in, but with her tiny size, it must be totally secure with no gaps where she can squeeze out. Due to her small size, we prefer an all-adult home for her, but if the home has a child, an older respectful child will be considered. Whoever adopts this sweet girl is truly getting a gem. If you live in the Central Florida/Orlando area, match all of her qualifications in this profile, and believe you have the perfect home for Peanut Butter, please complete an app and tell us more about you.    May 15, 2025, 4:52 pm
