About Peppy

Peppy is a charming little guy who embodies the joys of a simple life. At around 10 years old, he’s low-key and enjoys trailing after his favorite humans, exploring the yard, and indulging in squeaky toys. Peppy is quiet and likes to follow you from room to room, always curious about what you’re up to. Though still improving with house training, he's made strides and understands that the door leads to outdoor adventures. Peppy is a good sport when left alone, enjoys his walks, and loves some backyard exploration. Just a heads-up: he might treat garbage cans like treasure chests, so keep them out of reach! Initially a bit shy around newcomers, Peppy warms up with gentle introductions. He’s great with children and cautiously playful with dogs his size. While he prefers to keep all four paws on the ground rather than being picked up, he’s a loyal companion ready to keep you company. If you want a sweet sidekick who loves snacks and cuddles, Peppy is excited to meet you! Click apply to start the adoption process.
