About Pepe

Pepe is a 12-year-old Chihuahua in Ramona, CA, looking for a soft place to land after his previous owner could no longer care for him. He's been with a foster family since spring and has shown himself to be a gentle, loving companion who thrives on belly rubs and quiet time close to his people—especially if the couch is involved. Pepe is happiest with a calm atmosphere, enjoys going for walks, and sleeps soundly in bed with his foster family at night. He prefers his meals served on a flat plate in peace and appreciates a patient adopter willing to accommodate those little comforts. Pepe gets along well with other respectful dogs and has handled visits from young children with an easygoing spirit. His foster reports a never-ceasing wag in his tail and a willingness to keep company no matter the activity—be it housework, time in the garden, or working from home. He's ready for a patient, loving forever home, whether on his own or with a gentle canine buddy. Did you know Pepe is a Libra? No wonder he’s such good company and loves harmony.
