Peanut
Peanut has been adopted. Read his pre-adoption story:
Tiny little Peanut is a Chihuahua who is only about five months old and weighs four pounds (as of June). His foster mom reports he is SO sweet and just a delight to have around. He is a tiny guy, great in the house, good with other smalls dogs and cats, and wonderful with everyone he meets. He came to A Leg Up Rescue because he was having seizures at the shelter. After many comprehensive tests to rule out other possible problems, our veterinarian prescribed phenobarbitol to control his seizures. At this point, it is working and Peanut is seizure-free on the meds. There is a strong possibility that Peanut can outgrow the seizures as he gets older since seizures are fairly common to the breed. We will keep our fingers crossed that he will outgrow them, however, his adopter needs to keep him on the medication until it is known for certain.
We believe he will find a perfect home in spite of the seizures because he is so delightful. We are prepared to have his adopter meet with our veterinarian for a checkup so his adopter gets a chance to have all concerns addressed. Someone is going to be so happy with Peanut as the newest member of the family! If you are interested in adopting or contributing to his care, please email Jenn@aLegUpRescue.org. A Leg Up Rescue has spent a lot of funding to get to the bottom of his condition, so any donation in his honor is much needed and will be greatly appreciated.
