About Pepe introverted but

Meet Pépé, a charming little guy who might remind you of a tiny skunk. At just about 12 months old and weighing in at around 10 pounds, he has a subtle, gentle demeanor that speaks volumes. Pépé isn’t the type to rush into the spotlight. Instead, he prefers to observe from a safe distance, gradually warming up to those around him. Once he feels secure, his affectionate side shines through. He loves snuggling near his human, often found curled up under a desk, providing cozy company during your work. This sweet boy came from a household filled with small dogs and is comfortable with both canine and feline friends. Pépé is good with other dogs and has also been around cats and toddlers without any issues. While he enjoys being with other dogs, he may also thrive as an only pet, particularly with a patient owner who understands his introverted nature. Though he’s crate trained, Pépé may need a little gentle encouragement to go inside his crate on his own. He’s not a barker unless others trigger him, and he’s very food motivated, making training a rewarding endeavor. Currently, he’s recovering from flea dermatitis and dry skin, with care from his rescue to ensure a full recovery. Pépé is looking for a foster-to-adopt family who understands quiet dogs. He’ll need time to adjust, and in return, he’ll bring comfort and companionship into your life. If you are patient and ready to explore a bond with a gentle soul, Pépé may just be your perfect match. Transport runs every other weekend, with pick-up options available in Winchester, VA; East Hartford, CT; and Brattleboro, VT. Take your time getting to know him—his friendship will blossom with care and kindness. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
