About Pepper

Pepper has spent far too long waiting for the right family. She’s a wonderful American Bulldog/American Staffordshire Terrier mix with a relaxed, friendly spirit. Pepper is around 9 years old and has been through a lot—rescued from a high-kill shelter at the last moment. These days, she’s happiest playing a game of fetch, enjoying the fresh air, and settling in for a quiet afternoon indoors. She’s fully house trained, does well in a crate, and already knows her basic commands, making the transition home that much easier. Pepper is good with people, other dogs, and children over 10. Her compatibility with cats is unknown, so a cautious approach is best if you have a feline at home. She isn’t overly energetic, so she doesn’t need a marathon runner—just someone to appreciate her gentle, affectionate nature. Pepper would do best with a family experienced with bully breeds, where she can relax and be herself. Born February 7, she’s an Aquarius—a sign known for loyalty and calm temperament. Pepper is spayed and up to date on vaccinations. She’s waiting at All About the Dogs Rescue in New Milford, CT, hoping her new family will find her soon. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
