Story
Meet Pepper, the sweetest soul you'll ever encounter! This gentle girl is as loving as they come, with a heart full of joy and a spirit eager to please. Whether it’s walking by your side, playing tug-of-war with her favorite bunny toy, or simply cuddling up for some affection, Pepper’s main goal is to make you smile. House and leash-trained, Pepper is the perfect companion for those quiet mornings or leisurely strolls, though she might get a bit excited when she spots a squirrel! She's incredibly easy to teach, and her gentle nature is evident in every interaction—she'll even let you put your hand in her food bowl without a fuss, rewarding you with a loving lick. Pepper’s day is a delightful mix of walks, playtime, and snuggles. She wakes up ready for her morning walk, enjoys her meals with a wagging tail, and loves to spend her afternoons playing with her toys or relaxing by your side. But what truly sets her apart is her unbreakable desire to be your “good girl.” This beautiful pup is ready to fill your home with warmth, joy, and a whole lot of love. If you’re looking for a loyal and loving companion, Pepper is the one. She deserves the very best, and she’s waiting to meet her forever family!

Story
I’m ready to be fancy like the Ritz Carlton. You see I want to be spoiled and to feel like a princess because I had the complete opposite for the last 5 years of my life. I’ve been kept away from anything that should bring me joy; Fresh air, walks, good food but… most importantly love.  Like other puppy mill dogs everything is new to me. Every movement, every sound and every look, I’m unsure and I run. But dont think that I like running, I’d be happy to be on the couch and lay low. A fenced yard is ideal as that’s all the exercise  I need.  I’m not trusting of all humans yet but I’m slowly getting there each day with my foster who knows a lot about pups like me. Maybe you have another pup I can learn from? That would help pave my way to success, as that’s what I deserve. I’m hoping my new owner has the time to show me love and patience as I continue to figure out this new world. It can’t be as scary as where I came from but I need to be shown that with some guidance.  If you feel your home would provide lots of nurturing and dedicated care please contact my adoption coordinator Lauren and hopefully we can be the right match.
