Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Pepper is a sweet 9 year old dog that loves to curl up at your feet on the couch or the bed. We have had him since he was 6 weeks old. Until 18 months ago, Pepper always had a companion since we had another shih-tzu. That is all he ever knew. Our sweet girl passed away and Pepper has really struggled to adapt. He was house-trained prior to her passing, but now he has such bad separation anxiety that he always eliminates in his crate or the house if left alone. He also suffers from seizures, although infrequently. We have tried many things to help him including a thunder jacket, cbd oil, medication, and are unable to find anything that works. We are not able to get another pet at this time which may help him. We are looking for an adopter that can provide Pepper the attention he needs and other dogs as companion would be a plus.
