Peanut is a gem and would be a wonderful match for someone looking for a super sweet companion! Here’s some more information about this adoptable pup:

• 14-year-old neutered Chihuahua / Pug mix, about 15lbs
• Friendly and affectionate
• Quite healthy for his age
• Kid-Friendly
• Housebroken but also uses pads
• Would do well with another smaller dog or cat, no large and/or high energy dogs
• Deals with separation anxiety
• We’re seeking an adopter who spends the majority of their time at home or can travel with him (he’s travel sized!)

Peanut’s foster says, “Peanut is very easygoing and enjoys a snooze, but also loves getting outside for walks (and sometimes runs!) around the neighborhood.”

“He’s great on the leash and with other small/older dogs (no puppies) and once he’s settled in, is happy to sit on the couch for scratches. Since he was used to being with his owner all of the time, he doesn’t like to be left home alone, but the good news is, he loves running errands and going out to eat—and he does well in the car. He is mostly deaf, very rarely barks, and is completely unphased by children. While he is pad trained, Peanut can definitely make it without any accidents if he goes out four times a day.”

At his current foster home, Midnight likes to follow grandma around and curl up at her feet whenever he can. But when the mood hits, Midnight will play and be quite spunky!

More about Midnight:

 ? 9 pounds, 13 years old
? Neutered Chihuahua
? Needs to be the only dog in a home with children over the age of 12.
 ? Midnight is very timid around strangers and it takes him a few hours to get to know someone and relax.

Midnight is not a fan of unknown people approaching him from behind, strangers entering his home, or fast unpredictable movement near him. However, there has been significant improvement in these behaviors since he has been in his current foster home.

With the right adopter who is willing to continue to work with him around his anxiety, we are confident that Midnight would make a sweet and loyal companion. 

If you are interested in adopting Midnight, please email referrals@pawsny.org. Thank you!
