About Pepper
Pepper is an active dog who thrives on adventure and regular exercise. Whether it’s urban walks, hiking trails, or playful fetch sessions, he’s ready to join you. This playful guy loves belly rubs and enjoys coming up to say hi. Friends say he’s a natural when it comes to rolling on his back with a tennis ball, using his paws to hold it. Previously housetrained, Pepper may need some time to adjust to his new home routine, especially considering his tendency to jump fences. It's best to keep him on a leash or supervise him outdoors to keep him safe. He prefers a mature home without young, noisy children, and ideally, he would thrive with a like-minded dog buddy. Keep in mind, he doesn't get along with cats or chickens and may have some allergies. This active boy is neutered and ready for a loving home. He knows how to sit and might do best with a harness during walks. Interested in fostering? Pepper qualifies for our 7-day Foster-to-Adopt program. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
