About Pepper

Meet Pepper! This lovely girl is back at Humane Tomorrow after being a cherished companion since her adoption in 2017. Her previous owner had to relocate out of the country, and sadly, Pepper is returning without any fault of her own. Pepper is a 35 lb sweet, gentle companion who adores spending time with people. She’s happiest when she can relax by your side and is exceptionally well-behaved at home. Fully housetrained and trustworthy, she doesn't need to be crated when left alone. Her favorite pastime is playing fetch, so get ready for some action if you plan to adopt her! With a great command of walking on a leash and an impressive recall even off-leash, Pepper really is one of the best. While she’ll thrive as the only dog in a home, she generally does well with other dogs, preferring to keep her distance if she encounters one she's unsure about. Pepper is in excellent health and has a lot of love to give; she truly deserves a forever home where she can enjoy her golden years surrounded by love and comfort. If you are looking for a loyal and affectionate companion, Pepper could be your perfect match. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
