About Pepper

Pepper was found as a stray in Dallas, TX. She resembles a litter of puppies we rescued recently, and while her exact mixed breeds remain a mystery, her vibrant personality is clear. Young and enthusiastic, likely under a year old, she is dog friendly and loves people. Affectionate and playful, Pepper is smart and ready to bond with her future family. As with any puppy, she represents a long-term commitment, requiring training, structure, and lots of love as she grows into an adult dog. In return, she promises years of loyalty and companionship. Currently safe at Family Pet Care in Dallas, Pepper can be transported to an adopter or foster in the Northeast. This could be the perfect time to add a new friend to your family!
