Pepper, an adorable semi-floppy-eared Shepherd mix who will be 6 years old in July, has the most soulful brown eyes and a wagging tail that never stops. She loves her toys, especially squeaky toys, and nylabones, and playing fetch! Pepper’s fosters say she is so sweet and cuddly, and has been low energy in the house, although it’s thought in a fenced yard a more playful side might come out! She takes treats very gently and will steal your seat if the opportunity arises! Being a cuddly girl she loves to sleep in bed with her people, or as her fosters say “hog the bed”! Pepper rides well in the car, enjoys long walks and is great on a leash, however, her fosters have been working with her on leash reactivity to other dogs and on her instinct to take off after birds and small mammals, which would likely include cats. They have found being vigilant while walking Pepper and giving a quick tug on her collar helps distract her.
Pepper would do best with calm, older children, due to lack of exposure to active young kids. We also think Pepper would not only do fine as an only dog but would likely prefer it! Several months ago and shortly after coming into rescue Pepper had TPLO surgery (knee surgery for stabilizing the joint) several months ago and can still be a little sensitive in her left leg. Pepper is looking for a family who will cherish her and shower her with the love and attention she deserves. Adopting Pepper would truly be a rewarding experience for anyone lucky enough to bring her into their home!
