Pepper lives every single day like it’s the best day ever — especially if toys, treats, and people are involved. The second you walk through the door, her whole body starts wiggling with excitement before she barrels toward you at full speed, determined to deliver the world’s happiest welcome-home kisses. After a game of fetch or a burst of puppy zoomies, she’ll happily climb right into your lap like she’s convinced she weighs 5 pounds instead of 22. This terrier for adoption has the kind of personality that makes people fall for her instantly. Pepper is playful, affectionate, and incredibly eager to please. She loves being part of whatever her people are doing, whether that’s tossing toys in the backyard, relaxing on the couch, or practicing new skills for treats. She’s already showing how smart she is — listening well, learning routines quickly, and making excellent progress with potty training every day. Pepper would thrive with a fun-loving family ready to continue guiding her through puppyhood while giving her the attention and activity she craves. Another playful dog would likely make her very happy too.
