Pepper is looking for a forever foster or adopter who can give him a safe place to land in San Diego or Orange County. He came to the rescue in rough shape after severe neglect—imagine spiders and bugs crawling out of his fur during that first grooming session. Pepper has recovered from an ulcerated mass, has ongoing dry eye, and still has a few lumps his vet team is watching closely. Given his age and medical needs, the rescue will cover all his medical care through their network of participating vets, so his foster or adopter won’t face those costs. Despite his challenges, Pepper gets along well with other dogs and children. His story isn’t over—he just needs someone patient and kind for this next chapter. Your new best friend is just one click away.
