Overview
- Peanut was found by a concerned citizen after an unknown trauma that left most of his nose missing and his jaw dislocated, and an animal control officer rushed him to emergency care.
- Veterinarians performed multiple surgeries and inserted a small nasal stent to keep his airway open while he heals under close monitoring in the shelter ICU.
- Shelter staff describe his medical outlook as encouraging, though he may have lasting facial changes and a reduced sense of smell.
- Donations for his care have surpassed the initial goal, with $23,000 reported by the New York Post and a dollar‑for‑dollar match up to $7,500 from Fetch Pet Insurance.
- Pasadena Humane expects to evaluate him for adoption once he is medically cleared, and its Miracle Medical Fund remains the way the public can help pay for his ongoing care.
