Peanut the Magnificent Pug!


Peanut initially appeared on Pet Star and traveled around the USA until his family decided they could no longer take care of him. Peanut came into rescue in February of 2007 and was adopted by his foster family, The Knapps.

The Knapps did not condone any unsafe or harsh training practices and were very reluctant to let Peanut do his tricks but he took a liking to Craig and wanted to do tricks for him everyday. Craig decided to expand Peanut's routine, but would only do whatever Peanut was comfortable with learning.

Today, Peanut's training regimen consists of taking long walks to get focused and his rewards are usually baby carrots. Peanut is never yelled at or treated badly and gets to choose whether he wants to do a trick or move on to the next one, but Peanut has showbiz in his blood and loves to perform!

Peanut is 5 years old and is currently living out the rest of his life at The Pug Hotel with The Knapps and his six pug brothers and sisters who love him very much! Peanut's profits go to PDE Research because Peanut cares about finding a cure for PDE!

Peanut's next public appearance will be at The New York City Pug Meetup Group's Annual "Giving Thanks & Helping Others" party to benefit PDE Research. The party is scheduled on Sunday, November 11, noon-2:00 p.m. at Animal Haven Soho in New York City.
