Meet Pepe 🤍 . He is a Staffordshire terrier mix, weighs 38 lbs. and his estimated birthday is 8/7/25. Adoption fee: $500 - he is located in Houston, TX (transport is available for an extra fee) Pepe’s story started at the Mexico border, where networks reached out to our rescue about a young dog with a severe facial wound. While we may never know what he went through, we knew right away that he deserved a chance at a better life—and we’re so glad we said yes. Now safe with our rescue, Pepe has been healing beautifully, both inside and out. At just 8 months old, he’s already shown us how resilient and loving he is. Despite his rough start, Pepe is incredibly sweet, gentle, and full of affection. He gets along well with other dogs and would love a home where he can continue to build confidence and feel safe. Whether he’s playing with furry friends or soaking up love from his people, Pepe is just happy to be part of a family. Pepe is ready to leave his past behind and start his next chapter with a forever family who will give him the love he’s always deserved. ⭐️ Vaccinated with age-appropriate vaccines and microchipped 🏡 Kennel & potty training in progress 🐶 Dog, cat and kid friendly 📍 Houston, TX (transport available out of state!)

These are ground transports using third party vehicles (vans/buses) converted for dog transport. Each adopter has the ability to track the van using the app Life360 and receives updates from transport along the way. Facebook chats are another resource to stay informed on tracking dogs on transport. Please be able to use one of these available services if you wish to follow your adopted dog on transport. *Our adoption fees are based on the vetting we put into each dog. Fees for puppies (under 12 months) are higher because they require more vetting than dogs over 1 year. *Listed breed is based on a best guess estimation by rescue and veterinary staff; DNA tests are not included in adoption. *Our adopters are eligible to receive 50% off training with Curbed Behaviors Dog Training for programs booked within 30 days of adoption, and 25% off programs booked within 60-90 days of adoption. *All our adopters are invited to join our “Alum Pupdates” Facebook group, to share their story and their adorable pup with fellow Sunnyside Street Dogs adopters! *We have a strong adoption process, backed by reviews from previous adopters.
