Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.NJ Pepper will be arriving in NJ on 6/27 Meet Pepper, a darling little Rat Terrier mix with a gentle soul and a heart full of love just waiting to be shared. This sweet girl came to rescue after her owner could no longer care for her, and while that change was hard on her, Pepper’s loving personality still shines through every day. All she truly wants is a warm lap, a kind voice, and someone to remind her she’s safe and cherished. Pepper can be a little nervous when meeting new people at first, but once she settles in, she becomes an affectionate, loyal companion who wants nothing more than to stay close to her favorite humans. She’s playful, goofy, intelligent, and eager to please, with just the right mix of cuddly lap dog and fun little sidekick. She’s housetrained, crate trained, leash trained, and enjoys toys and playtime, but her favorite place will always be snuggled up beside her people. Pepper also gets along well with other dogs, making her a wonderful fit for many homes. Because she can be timid at first, she would do best with older, considerate children who can give her the patience and gentle reassurance she needs to build confidence. At around 19 pounds, Pepper is the perfect medium-small companion with a moderate energy level. She’d love a home where she can enjoy walks, cozy couch time, and plenty of affection from her people. Though she may start out shy, once Pepper trusts you, her sweet and loving personality blossoms beautifully. Pepper’s perfect match is someone with a gentle heart who understands that the best relationships take a little patience at first. In return, she’ll give you unwavering loyalty, endless cuddles, and the kind of quiet companionship that makes a house truly feel like home. Pepper was heartworm positive when she arrived in rescue, but she has successfully completed her treatment and is now ready to start the happy, healthy next chapter of her life. Pepper is fixed, microchipped and up to date on rabies, DHPP and Bordetella vaccines. Her adoption donation is $500. Adopting an animal is a commitment that will require annual veterinary care at a minimum, training, exercise, enrichment, etc. Pet care is not cheap or easy and adopters should consider the costs, time and training prior to adoption. After all these animals have been through they deserve a loving, committed home. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.June 27, 2026, 10:22 am
