Peanut

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy

This is Peanut! She and her brother Nugget came from the summer forest fires. They are now in a foster home with a garden and 2 cats. Peanut is a quick, cheerful and wonderfully energetic little whirlwind with a big future and an even bigger heart. Her name fits perfectly with her: small sounding, cute and impossible not to smile at — although this Peanut is less of a snack and more of a full-fledged comedy show on four legs. She is friendly, sweet, affectionate, playful and always ready to turn an ordinary day into a game, a chase or a very serious investigation into who has the treats. She is not afraid or shy. Peanut would be ideal for a family with children, especially if the children have inexhaustible energy and the parents secretly hope for a furry assistant to tire them out. She can run, play, jump, and make everyone laugh until both children and dog are happy and ready for a nap. If you are looking for a cheerful, funny, sweet girl who brings movement, laughter and peanut-sized chaos into your home, Peanut may be the perfect match. Peanut behaves excellently around other dogs. She behaves well around cats. And she behaves fantastically with children. Peanut weighs 7.5 kg and is likely to weigh 25 to 30 kg and grow 55 cm tall, which does not make her a big dog. She can be placed as a single animal.

Dit is Peanut! Zij en haar broertje Nugget komen van de zomerbosbranden. Ze zitten nu in een pleeggezin met een tuin en 2 katten. Peanut is een snelle, vrolijke en heerlijk energieke kleine wervelwind met een grote toekomst en een nog groter hart. Haar naam past perfect bij haar: klein klinkend, schattig en onmogelijk om niet van te glimlachen — hoewel deze Peanut minder een snack is en meer een volwaardige komische show op vier poten. Ze is vriendelijk, lief, aanhankelijk, speels en altijd klaar om van een gewone dag een spel, een achtervolging of een zeer serieus onderzoek te maken naar wie er snoepjes heeft. Ze is niet bang of verlegen aangelegd. Peanut zou ideaal zijn voor een gezin met kinderen, vooral als de kinderen onuitputtelijke energie hebben en de ouders stiekem hopen op een harige assistent om ze moe te maken. Ze kan rennen, spelen, springen, en iedereen aan het lachen maken totdat zowel kinderen als hond gelukkig klaar zijn voor een dutje. Als je op zoek bent naar een vrolijk, grappig, lief meisje dat beweging, lach en pinda-formaat chaos in je huis brengt, is Peanut misschien wel de perfecte match. Peanut gedraagt zich uitstekend in omgang met andere honden. Ze gedraagt zich goed in de buurt van katten. En ze gedraagt zich fantastisch met kinderen. Peanut is 7,5 kg en gaat waarschijnlijk 25 tot 30 kg wegen en 55 cm hoog worden, wat haar geen grote hond maakt. Ze kan als enige dier geplaatst worden.

About Peanut

What life with Peanut looks like

Peanut is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Mirtos Animal Project in Netherlands.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇳🇱Adopting from Netherlands

Dutch shelters typically require a household assessment and an adoption contract. Animals are routinely sterilized, microchipped, and registered in the national pet database (NDG) before placement.

Frequently asked

Adopting Peanut, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Peanut?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Mirtos Animal Project handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Peanut on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Peanut if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Mirtos Animal Project will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Peanut already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Peanut isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Mirtos Animal Project early rather than rehoming privately; they know Peanut and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (NL). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
