Meet Pepper! This petite brindle boy is settling into shelter life and slowly revealing his affectionate nature. While initially a bit nervous, Pepper’s gentle side shines through once he feels safe. He’s looking for a calm home with teens or older, where patience and understanding will help him blossom. Treats and a little time go a long way with Pepper—soon enough, he’ll be leaning in for pets and showing his big personality. Pepper gets along with other dogs but needs slow, respectful introductions to feel secure and build trust. He’s currently on a prescription urinary diet to manage crystals in his urine, and it’s important his new family continues this care and sets him up with a veterinarian check-up. Don’t let his size fool you; Pepper has a lot of love to give and is looking for his person. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
