About Peanut

Adoption Fee: $100
Pit Bull mix
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Female

Peanut is my beloved 2.5 yr old 42 pound pit bull found on the streets in New Orleans as a young puppy. She's been raised as the only dog in a single owner home but I've made the difficult and sad decision to rehome her because my neighbor (we live in tight proximity with shared outdoor spaces) is having a baby and the sad reality is that Peanut is not safe around kids. Peanut is well trained on standard commands, she never has accidents in the house, and is fully crate trained. She is happy and affectionate around people she knows - in all ways a typical, loveable pet. In fact one of her nicknames is 'wiggle-butt' because of how she acts when she is happy and excited. However, she is also possessive, excitable and insecure around people she doesn't know. She reacts by snapping at people. She's never attacked a human but she snaps and then retreats when she is scared - which is pretty much anytime someone enters my yard or comes to my house. She previously got in two dog fights in my house. I took her to an intensive 3 week training program with 'The Good Dog Training' and there have been no more dog fights since. Her issues are only in my house or on leash, she can go to doggy day care and play with other dogs with no problem at all. She needs to be in a home with a firm, experienced dog owner(s), with no other pets or children.
