Story
This is Sweetz. She is a very loveable, sweet dog that would love to be a lap dog. She adores attention and pets and will be your new best friend. She DOES NOT get along with other dogs. She has been wonderful with our children (we have had her since she was a puppy). She loves squeeky toys and chewy treats like bullie sticks. We absolutely adore her and would not be taking this step if not absolutely necessary.

Pepper

German Shepherd Dog Shepherd (Unknown Type)

Female, Puppy
Wilmington, DE
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Pepper is almost one year old! She is 85% German Shepard and 15% “unknown”. She is a very sweet and friendly girl. She loves attention and playing and being outside! She did go through basic obedience training and does great on a leash and knows some commands. She is house and crate trained. She would do great in a household with children that want to play with her, or with a family who is active. We have had recent changes in our work schedules and it’s unfair to her that she isn’t getting the attention she deserves. We don’t care about a rehoming fee we just really want to ensure she goes to someone who will love her and treat her well.

Welcome Coco! Coco was originally adopted from us in December 2021 and is being surrendered back to us due to owner’s increased work schedule.

Energy level (on a scale of 1-10, 1 being total couch 🥔, 10 the energizer 🐰): 7 Fenced yard required?: not required, but definitely preferred. Ideal family dynamic/living situation: anyone home more often than not, she likes several walks/fetch sessions a day. Older kids, unsure at this time how she would be with other resident pets so no current pets would be ideal Favorite toys 🧸 🎾 and activities: walks, fetch with a ball
