My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Pepper is available to be adopted together with her friend "Baby," a large, female German Shepherd Dog. They came from the same home and ended up in rescue after their person passed away. They've experienced enough loss and deserve to not lose each other. Adoption applications for either Baby or Pepper individually will NOT be considered at this time -- they need an adopter willing to love them both.

Pepper appears to be a purebred Shihtzu. She's reportedly around 4 years old, and she recently tested negative for heartworms. She weighs only 11 pounds.

She loves to cuddle on someone’s lap and basks in attention. If fact, she is almost always curled up with one of her foster parents, or with her dog-friend, Baby, or one of the other dogs in the home.

Pepper stands up to the big dogs if they get too fresh and loves playing with other dogs. She enjoys playing with a ball and enjoys toys. She is very good at the dog park with other dogs her size or larger and with strangers.

Pepper can be very vocal especially if someone comes to the door. No one will sneak up on her owner!

Pepper is house trained and uses a dog door . She is also spayed, and up-to-date on her vaccinations.

A completed adoption application, with vet and personal references, and a home check are required to adopt. If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an adoption application
