Meet Peanut! He is a handsome Rhodesian Ridgeback Mix

Peanut is a sweet, snuggly, and playful puppy who thrives in the company of other dogs. This sweet puppy already loves being part of a pack and enjoys romping around with his furry friends all day. He’s currently living in a foster home with two outdoor cats who visit and, while he might give a curious bark now and then, he doesn’t chase or show aggression—and he redirects easily.

Peanut is also kid-friendly! Like most puppies, he may jump or gently nibble when excited, but he’s never aggressive. He’s already crate trained and settling into a good potty routine, going outside every 2–3 hours and improving every day.

Ideal home? One with lots of love, and continued support with training and structure as he grows.

Peanut is full of joy, cuddles, and puppy charm—he’ll make a wonderful addition to a loving forever family!

The adoption fee also includes the transport fee when applicable

ATTENTION PUPPY ADOPTERS:  You must attend training/behavior classes with your new dog unless you are an experienced dog owner and your adoption coordinator is comfortable with your experience.  This requirement is for the benefit of you and your puppy, so if you experience behavior issues, you have a point of contact.  

PLEASE—Think long and hard before adopting a puppy. Consider the lifestyle change this puppy will come with. He cannot be crated for more than 3-4 hours until he's older. Puppy-proofing your home will be necessary. Puppies scratch and nip, so if you have small children, can they handle this? Training will be so crucial in this puppy's life. Do you have the time?

IMPORTANT INFORMATION - 

Paws New England is a foster-based rescue. Our dogs reside in various locations throughout the South and New England.  

Adoption donations cover pre-adoption vet costs (including vaccinations, spay/neuter when age appropriate, and heartworm testing/treatment when necessary), a microchip, and transportation to New England if necessary.

Donations for our young, healthy puppies and dogs support their fellow canines of advanced age or suffering from injuries and abuse whose donations are reduced but whose veterinary costs are typically much higher. We appreciate your understanding that your newly adopted dog will help others in need.
