Peanut is a 7‑month‑old, 20‑pound purebred Frenchie who arrived as a breeder surrender and immediately decided that life in a foster home was her chance to make up for lost time. From day one, she blended into the household routine, meeting the resident dogs through slow introductions and quickly proving herself to be playful, social, and wonderfully easygoing around food, toys, and treats. She’s healthy, has recovered well from her spay and vulvoplasty, and eats a fish‑based diet simply because it works for her.

 

Peanut is a happy, mischievous puppy who loves to play with the bigger resident dog and joins the Frenchies when they’re in the mood. She’s athletic, fast, and endlessly curious—always exploring, always looking for something fun to do. Even in a dog‑proofed home, Peanut manages to find “opportunities,” whether that means climbing onto the dining room table or digging through the toy box until she finds exactly the right toy to parade around with.

 

Her energy is high, and she thrives with space to run and dogs to engage with. She’s not overly cuddly with other dogs, but she adores people and will curl up on a lap the moment she’s tired. You can always tell when she’s fading—she starts wandering the house aimlessly, her little body finally slowing down after a day of zooming, fetching, and trying to convince someone to play keep‑away.

 

Peanut is still very much a puppy, and her foster family has been helping her learn the basics. She knows “stay back,” “down,” and “come,” though she sometimes thinks “come” is an invitation to play chase. She’s partially housebroken, never soils her crate, and is improving with consistency and frequent potty breaks. She uses the dog door on her own and sleeps through the night without issue. She’s also crate‑trained and settles in easily when her foster family is away or can’t supervise her busy little self.

 

She’s tolerant of grooming, jumps up in excitement but is learning not to, and has a silly habit of eating poop that’s improving with canned pumpkin. She loves yak chews, soft toys, and anything she can fetch—even if she’d rather run victory laps than bring the toy back. Peanut is brave, bright, and athletic enough that she could excel in agility or other dog sports with the right person guiding her.

 

Her ideal home is one with a fenced yard, another playful dog, and active people who appreciate a spirited, clever Frenchie who needs both fun and structure. Older, dog‑savvy kids would be a great match for her energy and enthusiasm.

 

Peanut has discovered the comfort of being loved, the joy of play, and the security of a home where she can grow. She’s ready for a family who will laugh at her antics, guide her puppy impulses, and give her the active, affectionate life she deserves.
