Story
🐶 Coming Soon to a Couch Near You… Jepp: The Lone Ranger of Sassville Rated R for Ruff Behavior In a world full of pack dogs and polite tail wags… One dog dares to walk alone. He pulls. He pouts. He refuses to share his toys. Meet Jepp — a misunderstood genius with a leash and a dream. He’s not here to make friends. He’s here to make statements. He doesn’t play well with others. He doesn’t do cuddles. But he does do drama, suspicious glances at strangers, high-speed leash chases, and emotional breakthroughs over peanut butter. Jepp isn’t just a dog. He’s a one-dog revolution against boring walks, clingy puppies, and small talk. He’s not anti-social, he’s just anti-dog. Other pups cramp his style. He’s got the soul of a misunderstood poet, the swagger of a retired rockstar, and the leash manners of a caffeinated toddler… He’s got the attitude of a cat… And the emotional availability of a houseplant. These days, every dog wants belly rubs… Jepp dares to say, “No thanks, I’m good.” Get ready for the dog who doesn’t fetch. Doesn’t sit. And definitely doesn’t do playdates. One leash. Zero chill. All attitude. Jepp doesn’t do group projects; he is The Project. He’s a one-man wolf pack with a strong preference for being the only four-legged legend in every room. He’s still learning that humans aren’t just treat dispensers with legs. Give him time, snacks, and space — he’ll come around. Think of Jepp as a fixer-upper with a heart of gold buried under layers of “don’t touch me, until you know me.” Jepp thrives with older kids who understand sarcasm and don’t mind a little emotional mystery. Jepp believes walking is a competitive sport. He’s training for the Olympics — you just didn’t know you were his coach. He needs someone who can handle the legend… JEPP. Not all heroes wear capes. Some wear harnesses and pull like a freight train. If Jepp were a movie: It would not be on Lifetime, because Jepp does not do basic or basic cable. Save your pumpkin spice lattes for another, little dog. Jepp is a no cream & sugar in your black label dark roast by the gallon guy. If basic cable critics would dare to review Jepp: “Jepp delivers a performance so raw, it chews through the scenery — and your slippers.” — Barking Weekly “A tour de force of canine independence. Jepp doesn’t fetch — he commands.” — The Tail Times “If Clint Eastwood were a dog, he’d be Jepp.” — Paws & Popcorn Now accepting applications for foster or adopter co-stars. Must be teen-approved, emotionally resilient, and okay with being upstaged by a dog. Jepp’s looking for a temporary throne while he waits for his forever kingdom. If you have patience, dark humor, and a love for quirky underdogs (he is pretty short), Jepp might just be your next great adventure. My adoption fee is $350.00 and includes the following: -Spay/neuter surgery -All current vaccinations -Microchip -FREE wellness exam through VCA Animal Hospitals -$25 gift voucher from our friends at My Pet Market -One free private lesson in home or in shelter from Bryana.
