About Pepper

Pepper is a 10-year-old Terrier mix who came to us as a stray. After being neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated, he's proven to be a healthy boy. This sweet senior is now on the lookout for a loving home to enjoy his golden years. Pepper is the ultimate cuddle buddy, thriving on affection and companionship. A laid-back fellow, he could easily snooze the day away by your side. Given his gentle nature, he’d do best in a home where someone is around most of the time, making him the perfect match for remote workers or retirees. He loves cozy spots like laundry baskets and his big dog bed piled with blankets. Due to his limited vision, Pepper needs a little assistance with stairs. His endearing little bark lets you know when he wants to go outside or come back indoors, but he’s otherwise a quiet companion. All Pepper wants is a warm place to rest, a soft bed, a loving human, and plenty of cuddles. Senior dogs like him have so much love to give, and he’s ready to share it. If you’re ready to open your heart to Pepper, reach out for a pre-adoption application and start the journey of love together.
