About Peppy

Peppy is a sweet and easygoing little guy with a simple plan for life: follow his favorite humans, explore the yard, play with squeaky toys, and snag a snack or two whenever possible. Around 10 years old, he remains a calm presence at home, happily trailing you from room to room to see what you’re up to. He’s making admirable progress with house training and understands that the door leads to adventure outside. When left alone, Peppy behaves well, enjoys his walks, and is always excited for a bit of backyard exploration. Just a heads-up: he has a knack for turning trash cans into snack boxes, so keep them out of reach! Though he might be shy initially, Peppy quickly warms up with slow introductions. He gets along well with kids of all ages and enjoys cautious playtime with dogs his own size. Not keen on being picked up, he prefers to keep you company from his own four paws. If you want a loyal shadow who adores squeaky toys, snacks, and gentle companionship, Peppy is ready to become your new best friend. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
