About Pepper

Pepper brightens every room she enters with her joyful spirit. She loves to meet new people and isn't shy about handing out kisses to anyone who will take them. You’ll often find her rolling in the grass, soaking up the sun, or lying on a blanket with a big grin on her face. Treats are definitely the way to her heart, but she’s just as happy giving hugs and cuddles. Pepper came in as a stray, so her past is a bit of a mystery, but she quickly adapts to change and seems content as long as she has warmth and kindness. She’s still young at heart, with a playful, puppy-like enthusiasm—sometimes her excitement gets the best of her, and she might pee a little when greeting friends. Pepper hasn’t mastered house training yet, but she tries her best and prefers to do her business in her kennel’s designated spot. Look closely and you’ll spot cute white paws sprinkled with black, like bits of licorice. She gets along with dogs, cats, and children, making her a lovely fit for a family looking to add a friendly, affectionate companion. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
