My name is Pepper!

Pepper is an extremely loving and loyal dog. She enjoys playing fetch, running around outside and chewing on bones and other toys (she is great about not chewing on other things like furniture or shoes). She particularly loves tennis balls. She is protective of her family and has been a very sweet companion for the past 5 years. She was born on 10/3/2020 and we adopted her at around 15 weeks. She is housebroken and very intelligent. She knows a handful of commands but can be stubborn at times. We sometimes think she is too smart for her own good. We recently had children and, unfortunately, she is not comfortable with the unpredictability of small children. We think she would thrive in a home without kids where she is able to get plenty of exercise. Her nature around those she is close to and trusts is completely loving and calm, but she does bark at those who approach the house and can be territorial of her home, so we often separate her from guests for her comfort.
