Peanut was brought to the shelter as a stray. This sweet senior was chipped, yet her family never came for her. When the shelter contacted us, Peanut was not healthy enough to spay. She was extremely thin with a potbelly and her skin was in terrible condition.
We took her into the Village and began treatment immediately. We were able to spay her just in time as her lady parts were riddled with polyps and infection. That surgery was the turning point for this baby. She’s getting stronger every day and her body is filling out with proper care. Peanut LOVES to go for walks. She’s energetic and snuggly and wants nothing more than to be near a human. And boy does she love bath time! After her surgery, we wanted her to feel safe and secure, so we held off on introducing her to other pups. As she heals, we are slowly introducing her to other dogs. We’ll know soon whether she’d be happy sharing her home with a canine sister or brother. The shelter had Miss Peanut listed at 11-years-old, but our docs say she isn’t a day over 8.
