3. Peanut
Puppy · Female · Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat) · 23 mi from Madera




Peanut – Black Female Lab Mix, 12 Weeks Old, 20 lbs.
Meet Peanut – A Little Labby Girl with a Whole Lot of Love!
Peanut is a beautiful black Lab mix who is smart, sweet, playful, and full of that classic Lab personality! At 12 weeks old, she is already showing what a wonderful companion she will be.
Peanut loves everyone, young and old, and gets along wonderfully with dogs, cats, and even goats of all sizes. She plays with the cats in her foster home and even snuggles with them. She adores her foster family's dogs and would do well in a home with other friendly pets or an active family with children.
This girl is one smart cookie! She sits for her meals and treats, listens well, and is eager to please. She is very food motivated, which should make training a breeze. Peanut is crate trained, goes into her crate willingly, and sleeps through the night.
She is working on potty training and does very well when taken outside frequently. She is learning to respond to her foster family's “potty, potty, potty” cue and heads right to her potty spot. She is also learning leash skills and doing well on walks. Her recall is impressive for such a young puppy, and she stays close to her foster family on their property.
Fetch, squeaky toys, big stuffed animals, and water are some of Peanut's favorite things. She is an active, curious pup who doesn't want to miss a thing! When playtime is over, though, she loves nothing more than snuggling on the couch with her people for a relaxing movie night.
Peanut is growing into a wonderful young girl with all the makings of a fantastic companion. She will need continued training, socialization, and patience as she grows, but her intelligence and eagerness to please make her a delightful puppy to raise.
Could Peanut be the missing piece of your family? If you are ready for puppy kisses, outdoor adventures, playful antics, and plenty of snuggles, this sweet girl is waiting to meet you! Apply at www.labrescuefresno.org

I may not be the biggest cuddle bug, and being held isn’t really my thing, I’m a little too wiggly for that! But I absolutely love being close to my people. I also enjoy the company of other dogs, and treats and mealtime are definitely some of my favorite parts of the day!
My favorite things:
Playing fetch (I’m a natural!)
Running zoomies in the backyard
Hanging out and playing with my person
Sleeping next to my favorite human
Making doggy friends
Treats, snacks, and a good puppy nap
If you’re looking for a clever, fun-loving companion who will keep you smiling and bring plenty of puppy joy into your life, I just might be your perfect match.

Adopting a puppy in Madera
Puppies usually go to their new homes from about eight weeks old, once they're weaned and have had their first vaccinations. Most rescues spay or neuter them before adoption, or include it in the fee.
Ask the rescue how big the puppy is expected to grow and which breeds they think are in the mix, so you can plan for the dog they'll become.
Puppies need a lot of your time: house-training, a few minutes of training every day, several small meals, and someone home often enough to let them out. A puppy class is a good way to start.
