About Pepper

Meet Pepper, the sweetest giant teddy bear you'll ever lay eyes on! At just 8.5 months old, this lovable boy weighs around 55 lbs and still has some growing to do; he has some impressive, enormous paws. If you want an affectionate, goofy companion who thinks personal space is optional, Pepper is ready to fill your life with the biggest, best bear hugs. Pepper radiates pure joy wrapped in his soft curls. His favorite pastime? Soaking up attention like a sponge. Always eager for head scratches, cuddle sessions, and full-body hugs, he's as sweet and friendly as they come. Being a high-energy pup, Pepper thrives with room to romp around. Originally from an apartment, he’s now discovering the joys of a spacious, fenced-in yard in his foster home where he can stretch those long legs, run zoomies, and chase toys safely. On leash walks, he loves to explore the neighborhood with his humans. When it comes to other pets, Pepper gets along wonderfully with his older foster sister, a fellow doodle, though he’d also shine as a solo dog basking in the spotlight. He has experience living with small children and showcases a loving disposition, indicating he would enjoy their company. With a smart, eager nature, Pepper is still very much an adolescent pup. He knows basic commands like sit and is motivated by praise. He’s working on his manners like come and stay, and with continued positive reinforcement training, he will grow into a well-mannered gentleman. Ready to add a goofy, floppy best friend to your life?
