About PepperPepper is a loving, intelligent, and playful herding dog who is looking for a patient and understanding forever family. Despite his herding breed background, Pepper has a laid-back personality at home, outside of playtime or long walks in outdoors, and enjoys relaxing or soaking up affection from his favorite humans. Pepper was adopted on October 22, 2023, and has been a cherished part of his current family. He’s a naturally sweet boy who adores toys, games, and treats, as well as tummy rubs and quiet adventures. Whether he’s exploring an empty park, sniffing along a quiet trail, or chasing his favorite toys, Pepper’s enthusiasm for the little things in life is contagious. He has an adorable big smile when he’s playing, a sharp nose for exploring, and excellent hearing that keeps him aware of his surroundings. Pepper’s Daily Routine Crate Training: Pepper is crate-trained and very well-behaved when asked to go to his crate. He can relax there for hours when needed. Feeding Habits: Pepper grazes and sometimes needs a little encouragement to finish his meals. He does best with patient humans who understand his quirks, and he never says no to high-value treats! Favorite Activities: Playing with toys, sniffing and exploring new places, receiving tummy rubs, and spending quality time with his people. He loves exploring outdoors and can go on long walks that have plenty of nature for him to sniff and smile through Pepper’s Personality and NeedsPepper is a wonderful companion who warms up quickly to people, but his anxious nature makes him easily overwhelmed by other dogs. He is leash-reactive and will bark when other dogs come near, not out of aggression but from fear and a desire to protect himself. While he’s made progress with training, he will need continued, consistent support from an adopter who is experienced with reactive dogs or willing to learn. Pepper is currently taking Fluoxetine (Prozac) to manage his anxiety. You can consult with a veterinarian to reassess his medication usage or dosage, especially if a more suitable alternative is found or if he no longer requires it after ongoing training contributes to his progress. He thrives in a quiet, low-stress environment where he can decompress and enjoy life without frequent encounters with other dogs. Apartment living has been challenging for him, as he enjoys long walks or time outdoors, so a home with a private yard or in a less dog-heavy area would be ideal. Pepper has no bite history and shows no aggression toward people, but he values his personal space. He prefers not to be touched by strangers, although he has been successfully muzzle-trained to make vet visits and grooming easier. Training and ProgressPepper has worked with professional trainers and a canine behaviorist to address his reactivity and leash manners. While his journey is ongoing, he’s shown great potential with the right guidance. He knows how to walk at a distance from other dogs but struggles when they come too close. With time, love, and patience, Pepper’s confidence can continue to grow. The Perfect Home for PepperPepper will thrive in a calm, understanding home with adopters who are dedicated to continuing his training. A family with no other pets would be the best fit, as Pepper needs space to feel safe and secure. A private yard, quiet neighborhood, or rural setting would be a dream for this sweet boy. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will bring joy and love to your life, Pepper is ready to meet you.  Ready to Meet Pepper?Pepper’s future family will need to be committed to helping him feel safe and supported, but the bond you’ll share with this special boy will be worth every effort.  Apply for him here: ##1838028##

Meet Castiel! Castiel is currently 3 1/2 months old, and we think he may be an Aussiepoo— Australian Shepherd poodle mix, but with rescue it’s always a guess!

If you choose a puppy from this rescue, it saves their life AND it also allows us to save the life of another in its place. Castiel is a joyful boy with a wiry coat, probably moderate to low shedder, and he’s young so he has spunky energy. He likes toys and playing with kids! He tries to instigate play and engagement. Castile is so unique and beautiful! Everywhere we take him, people talk about how unique he is! Castiel is a Good little guy! He played with Jessica - another small playful dog- and he is not too pushy with his play, for a puppy. He played chase for a little bit and would come back up to me to sit next to my feet. Once he got tired he would lay down in front of me and relax taking all the affection he could get. He is a puppy so he will need some training as he gets older, but he will learn quickly because he is very much a people pleaser. When he met my kids ages 4 and 7, he was joyful and wanted to engage with them. He’s very trusting and outgoing. He does like toys and wants to initiate play. He met a cat with us and was uninterested.
