Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Black Pepper is a 14 week old Border Collie mix, who looks and has the sweet personality of a black lab. He currently weighs about 16 pounds, and loves to sit in your lap and cuddle. Although he gets along well with other dogs, he is definitely a people person! In fact, it seems he wants to be a lap dog when he grows up. Black Pepper is extremely sweet-- if not downright affectionate--and the favorite of all his foster homes and his vet. In addition to being dog friendly, the vet staff told us he was friendly with their resident cat.
His brother Basil, who was adopted 2 weeks ago, is not only house-trained already but has been taught voice and hand signals, and to come when you whistle. Black Pepper shows all the signs of being a great family dog, and, if he's anything like his brother, is very smart and will be easy to train. He has just been moved to a new foster home, for house-breaking and basic obedience training.
Because we do not know what size or appearance Black Pepper will grow into as an adult, only those willing to take pot luck need apply. We do know he is a typical puppy, full of puppy sweetness and puppy energy. Like any Border Collie mix puppy, with the right amount of mental stimulation and lots of exercise or time off-leash in the back yard, he will sleep like a rock at night. Because he is still young, he should not be left alone for long hours and will need someone in his new family to keep him on his potty schedule, and continue his general obedience training. Black Pepper will be ready for puppy school right after adoption, where he is sure to be the star of the class!
His adoption fee of $325 includes: vet exam, distemper combo and bordetella vaccinations, deworming, flea and tick preventative, microchip and neuter.
