About Pepe introverted but

Meet Pépé, a charming little guy who may remind you of a tiny skunk, but he's all sweetness, no stink! At about a year old and weighing around 10 pounds, Pépé is a gentle and mellow fellow, although a bit introverted. He prefers to observe his surroundings before approaching, ensuring he feels safe before fully engaging. Once he knows you’re his person, his affectionate side shines through. Pépé loves the company of his humans and may be found curled up beneath your desk while you work. He's good with other dogs and even cohabited well with cats and a toddler in his previous home. While he enjoys canine companionship, he's also capable of thriving as an only dog; an experienced adopter will help him build the trust he needs. He is not a barker unless others start chiming in, and he’s made strides in crate training with a bit of help. Currently, Pépé is recovering from flea dermatitis and dry skin, and proper ongoing care will ensure he continues to feel his best. This lovely little guy is searching for a foster-to-adopt family, especially someone who understands the needs of a cautious dog. He has a wonderful food motivation that will be a bonus for training and companionship. If you’re ready for a quiet, gentle soul to add to your life, Pépé could become your very best friend. With patience, a safe environment, and some tasty treats, you'll soon discover a deep bond building between you. He’s looking for a peaceful home in the northern states to start his next chapter. Don’t miss the chance to meet Pépé; he’s waiting for you!
