About Pepper
Pepper needs a new forever home. Her protective instincts, once a source of comfort, no longer fit her current family dynamic as she feels overwhelmed by a busy home with two young children. Even after behavioral training, Pepper remains highly protective inside the house. For those in her circle, she is playful, energetic, and lovingāespecially when food is involved. While she adores running outdoors, chasing balls, and exploring with chew toys, she isnāt destructive with furniture or shoes, and respects boundaries about furniture use unless invited up. Pepper responds well to commands like sit, stay, come, and off, and she is spayed and house trained. During walks, Pepperās enthusiasm shows in her pulling, so a fenced yard suits her best. She thrives with adults, enjoying affection and midday naps. Around guests and strangers in her home, she becomes prone to barking and snapping out of discomfort. She must be kept separate from visitors for everyoneās peace of mind, and sheās not suitable for homes with children. Pepper has not bitten but should be with confident, adult adopters who appreciate her loyalty and need for structure. She does get along with other dogs and is eager to find a new place where her energy and affection can be put to good use. Click apply to start the adoption process.
