Peanut - Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler and Labrador Retriever Dog for Adoption in Houston, Texas

Meet Peanut!

Peanut is an adorable 7–8 week-old Heeler/Lab mix (we think) weighing in at just about 7 pounds!

This little guy is the perfect mix of sweet, shy, and silly! Peanut can be a bit timid at first, but once he starts feeling comfortable, his playful personality begins to shine. When he's feeling spunky, he can be a little rambunctious and is always ready for some puppy fun! But don't let that fool you Peanut has a big soft side, too. Pick him up, and he'll happily settle in for some cuddle time. He's also a big fan of a good chewy bone and can entertain himself quite happily with one!

Peanut is still a baby, with so much to learn and discover. He'll need a loving, patient family to help him build confidence, explore the world at his own pace, and grow into the happy, well adjusted boy he's meant to be. Like any puppy, he'll benefit from consistent training, positive reinforcement, and plenty of opportunities for socialization and play.

With his adorable puppy face, playful antics, and cuddly side, Peanut is sure to steal your heart. He's just a little guy looking for a family to call his own and a lifetime of love.
