My name is Pepper!

This high-spirited fellow is Pepper, a Lab/Retriever mix picked up by one of our officers on 3/20 and brought to the Mesquite Animal Shelter. Pepper weighs 62 pounds and is approximately 3 years old. He is one lively and active fellow, friendly and sweet natured. He is confident and trusting, and with an outgoing personality. He loves treats, and will take them politely. He demonstrated his athletic ability by climbing up the play equipment in search of yummy treats. He was not interested in playing with toys or balls. Pepper just seemed to relish stretching his legs, running around the yard and enjoying the beautiful spring day. He did his business in the yard. He walks well on a leash. He is excitable and energetic! Obedience training would only enhance his already sterling qualities. He needs a person or family that would spend time exercising and playing with him in the yard and then spend the rest of his time in the house with his people.
