About Pepper

Meet Pepper, a playful 1-year-old Red Heeler bursting with personality and energy. She is eager to find a companion who will help her channel her youthful spirit into becoming a wonderful lifelong friend. Pepper has been primarily an outdoor dog and isn't yet house trained, so she'll need a patient adopter willing to guide her through the learning process. While she’s still figuring things out, her playful nature shines through. She's great with kids, ensuring plenty of fun during playtime. However, Pepper has struggled to get along with other female dogs, so potential adopters should consider introducing her to any canine companions carefully; she has shown positive signs with a calm senior male dog. Cats are not a match for Pepper—she prefers to keep her distance from them. With exercise, structure, and proper training, she has the makings of a fantastic companion. Could you be the one to give Pepper the fresh start she deserves? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
