SHAWNEE, Okla. —
Peanut the dog is still in the care of the vet, and had some interest in adopting him over the weekend, but because he’s a special-needs dog, those who were interested backed out for now, Peanut’s interim owner Anthony Ramirez said.
“Some people were very interested in him, but once they found out that he was a special-needs dog, they knew that it wouldn’t be a good environment for him,” Ramirez said.
He also said Peanut is recovering well, but is still in the custody of the vet. He doesn’t know when he will be released.
“He’s getting looked at and taken care of, and some certain shots that he needs for his back,” he said. “His wounds and everything on his feet and underside, from dragging his legs, are healing up nice because he’s not walking around a lot or dragging.”
He said he couldn’t say with certainty as to whether Peanut will get adopted or not when he is released from medical care, mainly because he is a special-needs dog, and is going to require more care than usual.
“I talked to Kay from SPAR a few times and she told me that some people, after they found out what exactly is wrong with him, like the special needs that he will have, some are unsure, but some have realized that it’s too much for them,” Ramirez said.
He said the dog is receiving the care that he needs, and overall looks a lot happier and better now that he is being cared for the proper way.
Watch for updates.
