This week we’d like to introduce a sweet Shepard mix named Peanut. Peanut - Oregon Humane Society She’s a high-energy girl who weighs 50 pounds, is about a year and a half old, and is full of energy! Check out her video and watch her RUN!
Peanut is not for the first-time dog owner. She needs someone who is experienced with dogs and understands canine body language. She can get anxious when she’s home alone, so would do best with an active person who works from home. She needs to go to a home with a fully fenced yard, and if you watch her video and see her run, you can understand why! Speaking of running, she would love it if her new owner is a runner!
Peanut has quite a story. You see, she’s from Afghanistan. Yes, Kabul, Afghanistan! Peanut befriended a U.S. soldier from Klamath Falls. When coming home from the Army he asked what would happen to her and was told she’d be killed. So, he arranged rescue and she came to the states with him in June 2021. He moved in with some friends in Klamath Falls area. However, the landlord came over and realized there were three dogs living on the property and their lease only allowed one dog. They were told they had to get rid of two dogs or they’d be evicted. So, Peanut ended up in the Klamath Falls shelter. She was later transferred to Oregon Humane Society.
She’s very affectionate with her people and loves hanging out and being close. She’s a smart girl who knows sit, down, stay, and come. Some of Peanut’s favorite things are playing tug of war, chasing squirrels, chewing on an antler, long walks (and sniffing every bush on those long walks!), and going on drives. She’s a sweet, sweet girl looking for her perfect family. Do you think you might be it? If so, please fill out the questionnaire at the bottom of her profile and schedule an appointment to come to Oregon Humane Society to meet her.
