When we found Peanut, fka Gidget, at Dallas Animal Services, she was just three years old and in need of life-saving heartworm treatment.
Her smile always visible, Peanut soared through Dallas Pets Alive! foster life, and found a new life.
“I just saw her face and was like, ‘That is the dog for me.’” Cowling said. “Most importantly, there was a picture of her with a cowboy hat, and I was like, ‘Yes! I can dress her up!’”
“All of my friends were like, ‘You have the most photogenic dog in the world,'” Peanut’s adoptive mom, Maggie Cowling, said. “She posts on her Instagram, @peanutthemutt1, and I kinda like to show her 1,000 followers that rescue dogs are just as good as any other dog.”
And Peanut’s proving she’s just as good, if not better! Not only is she a loving dog, but she’s also doing agility training. Cowling had no idea Peanut was such a pro when she first saw her. After jumping hurdle after hurdle to find her new life, Peanut the mutt’s never going back.
“She just loves to jump, and she’s really in it for the treats, I think,” Cowling laughed.
“I try every day to give her the best life she can have, and she gives it back.”
