Thank you to mom Hillary Sciarillo for sharing this adorable story about her family’s new love, Peanut, formerly Little Bear:
“On a summer weekend in 2012, my family and I walked into the Whole Foods on Noe Valley’s 24th St., expecting to buy some food for a barbeque; instead, we left with a 17-pound senior dog from Muttville.
We walked over to the Muttville Adoption Event area just to “say hi” to the adorable dogs out front. When my son approached Peanut with a cautious hand out, he was met with sloppy dog kisses and tail wagging. The connection we all felt to this furry, sweet dog was immediate.
We liked that Peanut was energetic, but without the frenetic energy of a puppy. As a dog with some history, so to speak, he was clearly comfortable with and used to people and other dogs, so we felt comfortable that he could make the transition into our family.
Peanut brings a lot of happiness into our household; we enjoy taking him for long walks and hikes around our home and are rewarded daily by his loving companionship. I’m grateful to Sherri Franklin and Muttville.
They are giving families like mine an opportunity to know the joy of bonding with a fabulous senior dog."
