About Pepper

Meet Pepper! This delightful 10-month-old Chihuahua/Rat Terrier mix weighs in at 11 pounds and is brimming with affection. She’s as sweet as they come, with a gentle demeanor that will melt your heart. Pepper's warm personality makes her incredibly friendly, and she loves meeting new people. Her charming demeanor tends to win over everyone she encounters. She's currently thriving in a foster home alongside a larger dog and enjoys their company, though she'd be equally happy as your one and only companion. Her foster family reports that Pepper is quickly learning to potty outside and has settled in wonderfully. Initially a bit shy, she warmed up fast and has become playful and silly, relishing every cuddle she can get. Pepper would thrive in a loving home that prioritizes her as a family member. Daily walks, cozy naps, and fun outings suit her perfectly. Given her small size, she’s easy to transport and would make a great adventure buddy. Consistent mental and physical stimulation is key for her happiness, so positive reinforcement training is essential in her new home. Farfel's is ready to assist with trainer recommendations. She’s fully vetted, spayed, heartworm negative, and up to date on vaccinations. Farfel's Rescue provides a unique one-week trial period with every adoption to ensure the perfect fit.
