About Shishito Pepper Litter

Shishito is the smallest of the Pepper Litter but doesn’t let her size slow her down. She’s equal parts smart, loving, and just a touch feisty. Despite being the runt, Shishito matches the energy of much bigger dogs and handles new situations with careful curiosity that turns into confidence as she gets to know you. Loyalty is her standout trait—she tunes into her people, whether that’s snuggling up at your feet during work, keeping tabs while you move around the house, or flopping into your lap for cuddles. Expect a mix of bouncy puppy play and soft affection—she’s the type who’ll keep you laughing with her excited Boxer wiggle, then settle right in for downtime. She’s also handling car rides well and picking up potty training and basic commands faster than most pups her age—she’s sharp and attentive. Shishito gets along with other dogs, loves spending time with kids, and even coexists smoothly with cats, so homes with different animals or kids are a solid fit. Born March 11th, Shishito is a Pisces, which means you can expect extra loyalty and a gentle spirit. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
