About Pepper
Say hello to Pepper, a big-hearted Black Labrador Retriever with a playful streak and a knack for turning any encounter with a garden hose into her own water show. At five years old and weighing around 110 lbs, Pepper carries herself with a steady, low-to-medium energy that fits perfectly into daily life in a quiet, suburban home. She truly comes alive when she’s close to people she trusts, finding comfort in sunshine, affection, and the company of her beloved octopus stuffed toy. Pepper is on thyroid medication that keeps her feeling her best, and she continues to make progress working through her leash reactivity when passing other dogs on walks. She is cat friendly, and according to her previous owner, she enjoys the company of other dogs when given calm, structured introductions. For families with children eight or older, Pepper could be an ideal fit, but be ready to provide a securely fenced yard—she’s happiest when she has space to play and relax. Foster-to-adopt options are available to help make her transition smooth. Give Pepper the easygoing, loving home she deserves. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
