Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and Chihuahua Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Peanut — proof that the best things in life come in snack-sized packages with extra personality.

At about 6.5 years old and 23 pounds, this King Charles Spaniel–Chihuahua mix is a whole lot of joy packed into one delightfully compact little body. Peanut happens to be a tripod, but she treats that less like a limitation and more like a branding choice. Three legs, four-star attitude. She’s got places to be, people to charm, and absolutely no time for anyone underestimating her.

Peanut is nuts about having fun. Walks on leash? Love them. Stroller rides? Also love them, because why choose between cardio and luxury when you can have both? She’s the kind of girl who appreciates options, and honestly, it’s hard not to respect a dog who knows how to balance adventure with being chauffeured in style.

When it’s time to play, fetch is high on her list of favorite hobbies. She brings the same enthusiasm to the game that she brings to life in general — all in, tail wagging, and fully convinced this throw might somehow be even better than the last one. And when the games are done, she’s more than happy to cash in on the cuddle portion of the evening. Peanut does not skip snuggles. Ever.

Her tripod status just adds to her charm. She moves through the world with confidence, adaptability, and a little extra flair, reminding everyone that joy doesn’t have to look one specific way. In Peanut’s world, life is still full speed ahead — sometimes literally, sometimes from the comfort of her stroller throne.

She is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. Her 4DX test is negative for heartworm and tick-borne disease, because even tiny legends believe in staying healthy.

If you’re looking for a dog with resilience, humor, and enough heart to make every day feel a little sweeter, Peanut is ready to roll, stroll, and snuggle her way into your forever home.
