Story
Say hello to Pepper, a lovely senior gal with a heart as big as her soulful eyes. Pepper has all the wisdom and charm that comes with age. She's looking for a quiet, loving household where she can be the center of your world. She's not a fan of sharing her space with other dogs or cats, and honestly, she doesn't think she should have to! Pepper has waited her whole life to be someone's one and only, and she's more than ready to give her whole heart in return. Pepper's previous family had to make the difficult decision to rehome her when a family member was no longer able to care for her.Pepper has been described by one of our volunteers as a "true angel" and the winner of the "goodest girl of the day" award! What more can you ask for? Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 50.4 Age: 13yrs 5mths 3wks
