Hi! My name's Peppermint Patty, but my friends call me Pepper. I'm a fun, sweet, loving, playful, 16-week-old puppy. I'm spayed, microchipped, up-to-date on vaccines, fully medically tested, dewormed and I come with 60 days of free pet insurance, and a session with a Certified Professional Dog Trainer. That was a mouthful! Let me tell you about myself. I currently live in foster care with other dogs and cats - I'm really getting off on the right paw with this whole "socialization" thing. I'm learning my basic commands and to only potty outside. I'm a smart cookie who would love to continue training with you. I love to cuddle, play in the yard and chew on my tough toys and compressed rawhides. I'm a friendly, cuddly puppy who really wants a forever family. Could that be you? Adoption fee: $100. Fee includes testing, deworming, vaccinations, spay/neuter, 60 days of free pet insurance and microchip.
Adoption and Foster Care Application
NOTE ABOUT BREED LABELING: Visual breed identification of dogs is unreliable and usually inaccurate. So, for most of our adoptable dogs, we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog
as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.
Why is labeling a dog such a big deal? A label will stick with a dog for the rest of its life. A label can mean discrimination, losing its home or even death. Labels are a problem for the dogs when we, as the local experts on animals, allow adopters, politicians and community members to think that the label we assign can predict who that dog is or will be.

Adoption Process: Complete the application at
www.pawsforliferescue.org. We then arrange a location, date and time for you to meet some pets. If the meeting goes well and everyone is happy, you begin the mandatory, minimum two-week adjustment period with the pet as part of your family. You will pay the non-refundable adoption fee at the start of the two-week adjustment period. This pending period allows your new dog or cat time to adjust to their new home, new people, new routine, etc., and for you to decide if it's a match and the right pet for you. At the end of two weeks (some people extend the adjustment time as needed and that's fine too), if everyone is happy, then we finalize the adoption. Feel free to email if you have any questions.
