Foster location: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet SC Special Needs? NO Weight: 40lb Height: 24in Spayed/Neutered: Yes Adoption Fee: $699 Fence needed? No, but Pepper is a young standard poodle that absolutely needs exercise and a fenced space to run around in off leash. (Whether that be friend or families, or the dog park.) What kind of home would be best for me? Like all growing pups, Pepper still needs to learn the basics—house training, leash manners, and general obedience. Her crate training is well underway, and she’s making steady progress. Pepper absolutely thrives around other dogs and will need regular canine social time. Whether she joins a home with another playful dog or enjoys outings to dog parks, daycare, or meetups with friends’ dogs, she blossoms when she has doggy companionship. With respectful children who understand how to interact with a young, energetic dog, Pepper has the potential to be a wonderful family companion. If you’re ready to invest time in training, socialization, and plenty of fun, Pepper will reward you with endless affection, joyful energy, and loyal companionship. What is my personality like? Pepper is a young Standard Poodle puppy with a bright, playful spirit and a sweet, gentle nature. She’s eager to begin life’s adventures and is looking for a family ready to guide her through puppyhood with patience, consistency, and lots of love. This lovely girl is excited to learn, grow, and explore the world with her forever family! How do I act when I first meet new people? She may be a touch timid during first introductions, but she warms up quickly and becomes an enthusiastic playmate, especially with dogs close to her size and energy level. When meeting new people, Pepper offers a shy tail wag before quickly leaning in for affection like the sweet puppy she is. Other tips and tidbits: 9/7/25 is Pepper's exact birthdate. House trained? Dogs can be house trained if they are in the right environment and are allowed to follow a schedule as long as a physical reason doesn't keep them from being trained. A dog house trained in my home may not be in yours. We will help you teach your new dog this necessary skill and based on your schedule. Potential Adopters Dogs can’t drive - and since we’re busy taking care of them, we can’t either! Please check your potential BFF’s location and make sure you’re comfortable traveling to meet them.
