Pepper, also called Pippa, is an 8-month-old pup with a zest for life and plenty of affection to share. Still in her puppy phase, she exudes curiosity and is always up for a game of fetch, happily making any ball-thrower her new best friend. She thrives around other dogs, especially mature ones who can show her the ropes, and truly comes alive during play. Pepper’s favorite people might just be kids—she lights up around them and would be thrilled to have children in her family to play and grow up with. Her DNA says she's mostly Doberman, with a dash of Chihuahua and Miniature Pinscher, blending sharp smarts, loyalty, and a big personality into one medium-sized, brown-coated, short-haired package. If you have an active lifestyle and a love for adventure (and maybe a fenced yard for fetch marathons), Pepper would fit right in. Because she’s young and eager, she’ll need continued training, structure, and a family who can guide her into adulthood. For those looking for a joyful, playful, and devoted companion who’s great with kids and dogs, Pepper is ready to move in and start her new chapter. Click apply to start the adoption process.
