Pepper

Description

Meet Pepper! Pepper is a 3-year-old, 16-pound Yorkie with a sweet, sensitive personality and an adorable little spark that comes out once she feels safe. She can be timid when meeting new people or adjusting to a new environment, but with a little patience and reassurance, she begins to relax and show off her affectionate, playful side. Pepper absolutely loves women and warms up to them quickly. She can be nervous around men at first, but her foster family has already seen her make great progress with time and gentle introductions. Because quick movements can make her uneasy, Pepper would do best in a home without young children, though she can do well with respectful older kids. She also gets along with other dogs and seems to prefer pups around her size or smaller. This little girl loves going for walks, spending time outside, lounging on the patio, and relaxing in the shade. She is also a big fan of couch cuddles, sleeping at the foot of the bed, and surprising her foster family with happy little wiggle zoomies! Toys aren’t really her thing, which means your shoes and belongings are probably safe from a Yorkie chewing spree. Pepper is house trained and will let you know when she needs to go outside. She is also crate trained and views her crate as a safe, comforting place when she feels anxious. She does very well when left home alone and simply hangs out until her people return—then she is thrilled to see them! She is still working on basic commands and recall, especially at the dog park, but she is making progress. Pepper is looking for a patient, loving home that will give her the time she needs to build confidence and trust. Once she knows she is safe, her sweet, cuddly—and occasionally bossy!—personality begins to shine. With the right family, Pepper is going to be an incredibly devoted little companion. Pepper is spayed, vaccinated and her adoption fee is $300.
