Pepper is a handsome Shepherd/Labrador Retriever mix with a short coat, about two years old and ready to settle in with his forever family. He came to the rescue after being found as a stray; the person who found him did their best but ultimately couldn’t keep him. Pepper is vaccinated, heartworm negative, and neutered. He may seem shy at first, but don’t let that fool you—he warms up quickly with a little kindness. Pepper walks nicely on a leash and enjoys playing with other dogs, making him a good fit for multi-dog homes. He’s not house trained yet, but with patience and routine, he'll pick it up. He loves time outside and would thrive with a fenced yard where he can explore and play safely. Pepper is looking for a home where he can run, bond, and find his footing. Ready to fall in love?
