About Pepper

Pepper, affectionately known as Peppie, is a delightful Chihuahua residing in Metairie, LA. She has that classic Chihuahua charm, showing a strong attachment to her favorite person while maintaining a bit of a diva attitude toward everyone else. Peppie gravitates more towards women and can be a bit selective with the men in her life, choosing to tolerate them only when it's on her terms. This little queen loves zooming around the backyard with her canine companions, easily getting along with other dogs. She’s also cat friendly, remaining unfazed by them. House trained and accustomed to using puppy pads, Peppie really scores points for being easy to manage indoors. At around 5 years old, she has a strong personality and won't hesitate to bark if she feels ignored, so a home without small children is ideal. She thrives on affection and might just be the loyal companion you've been looking for. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
