About Peppermint

Meet Peppermint, a delightful puppy around 9-10 weeks old and weighing about 10 lbs. This playful girl is a lab/hound mix, though her exact heritage remains a mystery. Peppermint is a social butterfly, enjoying the company of her foster mom and the resident dogs. She’s working hard on her house and crate training, showing great promise in her progress. As a young puppy, Peppermint needs an adopter who can be home during the day to continue her training and socialization. This will help her develop into a confident adult dog. While she is up-to-date on her age-appropriate vaccines and microchipped, it’s important to note that she's not ready for public outings or apartment living until she’s fully immunized at around 16 weeks. Peppermint has a friendly demeanor and gets along well with children, dogs, and even cats. Adopters must be at least 25 years old. The adoption fee is $400, plus a refundable $100 deposit for spaying/neutering at six months. This fee supports our mission to help other animals in need, so adopting Peppermint means saving more lives than one. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
