Hi, I’m Pepper! 🐾
I’m an 8 ½ year-old bundle of love with the biggest heart and so much love to give! My foster family says I’m a special girl with a goofy personality, a playful spirit, and a heart that is truly one of a kind.
I may need a little extra patience and understanding when getting to know new people and navigating the world around me. New experiences and unfamiliar dogs can sometimes feel overwhelming, so I’m looking for someone who understands that building trust is a process. I may not open my heart overnight, but when I do, you’ll have a friend who loves with her whole heart. Once I trust you, you’ll get to see the real Pepper - the silly, affectionate, playful girl who loves to snuggle, give kisses, lean in for affection, and make you laugh. I have so much personality packed into this big body, and I truly believe I’m a lap dog! My favorite things include toys, treats, naps, and spending time with my people. And yes, my adorable snoring is just one of my many charms!
I currently live with another female dog, and we have a wonderful relationship. We love to play and chase each other, and she is a very special part of my world. While I do well with my resident dog, I have found that I’m most comfortable in a home where I don’t have to share my people or space with other dogs. I would likely thrive as the only dog in the home, where I can soak up all the love and attention. I’m looking for a quieter home with a patient, compassionate person or family who understands my needs and will give me the time and support I deserve. A female-led home would be a wonderful fit for me, and I would do best without children. I’m hoping for someone who sees the beauty in taking things slowly and understands that the most meaningful relationships are built one day at a time.
My foster family has watched me come so far. I’m learning that the world can be a wonderful place and that new experiences don’t always have to be scary. Every little bit of progress makes us so proud, and we know there is still so much happiness ahead of me. I’m a playful, loving girl who has so much more to discover. I may need someone willing to be patient, but I promise that the love I give in return is worth every moment. Once you become my person, you’ll have a loyal companion who wants nothing more than to be by your side. My foster family loves me dearly, and while saying goodbye will be incredibly difficult, they know there is someone out there who will see just how extraordinary I am.
I’m not looking for a perfect home. I’m looking for the right home - a home with patience, understanding, and a whole lot of heart. If you’re willing to give me the time I need to feel safe and loved, I’ll show you just how much love this big-hearted girl has to give ❤️

The best way to show interest in an animal is to submit an adoption application by visiting our website (www.rescuenetworkmn.org).
Adoption fee includes spay/neuter, all age-appropriate vaccinations (distemper, rabies, and bordetella), heartworm and flea/tick preventatives, heartworm test (dogs), FIV/FeLV test (cats), dewormed, and microchip implant (including registration).
Rescue Network is strictly foster based which means all adoptable animals are in a home and there cannot be a meet until an application is submitted and approved. We have no way of knowing the breeds in the animals. All breeds listed are best guess.
