Story
This sweet, speckled gal looking for her forever home! Pepper is seeking a house where she can fully lean into the couch potato that she is! This girl loves her people and showing them affection. She loves to cuddle, adores car rides, and her superpower is finding the perfect sunbathing spot! Pepper gives kisses when requested, what more love can you want for?! Pepper could live in a home with a small canine companion, with a slow introduction. Notes from her fosters; "This sweet, speckled gal is looking for her forever home! Pepper, weighing in at a perfect 48 pounds, is ready to settle into a loving household where she can embrace her inner couch potato. She adores lounging and watching the Olympics with her foster family, making her the perfect companion for cozy nights in. Pepper is a smart cookie who knows commands like "sit" and "shake." She enjoys her daily walks of about a mile or two, mainly because she loves to sniff around, taking in all the exciting scents. Car rides are another one of her favorite activities -she peers out the window with endless curiosity, making every trip an adventure. A true people-lover, Pepper is thrilled to meet new friends and is always eager for pets and belly scratches. Her love language is definitely physical touch; she'll gently rest her head against you when she craves some affection. This cuddle bug also has a knack for finding the perfect sunbathing spot, making her a delightful companion for sunny days. Pepper could share her home with a small canine friend, given a slow introduction. She's a huge fan of car rides, cuddling, and giving kisses on request -what more could you ask for in a furry friend? If you're looking for a loving, affectionate, and loyal companion, Pepper is your girl."
