About Pepper

Meet Pepper! Pepper is a playful 6-month-old Heeler mix with a vibrant personality and a loving nature. He was found dumped on a kind woman's property with fellow Heelers, but now he's safe and eager for a family to call his own. This energetic pup is full of joy and always ready for fun. He's interacted well with both cats and even peacocks, showing his friendly demeanor. However, because he's young and excitable, he sometimes overenthusiastically plays with smaller dogs or cats. A family that can help him learn proper play and offer plenty of exercise will be a great fit for Pepper. He’s currently learning kennel training and loves being outdoors. As a happy and outgoing boy, he craves being involved in activities. Thankfully, Pepper is already neutered and up to date on his vaccinations, so he’s primed for his new adventure. If you want a goofy, energetic companion who will consider you his best friend, Pepper is the one for you! Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
