About Pepper

Meet Pepper, a sweet senior lady who is around 12 years old. She arrived at HOPE after her owner could no longer care for her and came to us in need of some TLC. Currently, she’s recovering from a UTI and is shedding some extra pounds on a diet plan. We've also been carefully trimming her long nails, which has helped her walk more comfortably. Pepper enjoys short walks and loves to roam in the yard, where she can truly feel free. Every day, she’s getting better, and we can't help but adore this little black bear. She's incredibly gentle and deserves a loving home where she can be spoiled. Pepper does well with dogs, cats, and children, making her an excellent companion for families. If you're looking for a calm and affectionate addition to your family, consider bringing Pepper into your life. She's ready to share her love with you. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
