Pepper's Story
Pepper was surrendered after his owner's increasing health concerns made it harder to meet Pepper's needs and manage his behavioral challenges. Pepper comes from a shelter background and has bounced around some, and picked up some bad habits along the way. With just a few weeks of intensive socialization and behavior modification, he's come a very long way. His intensely cuddle-bug nature outweighs most of his naughty urges and he is receptive, affectionate boy. He would love to be someone's tiny snaggle-toothed shadow whenever possible, whether you're doing yard work, hiking, or lounging around the house. When he's not busy being your personal chaperone, he's well-behaved when left alone.
Pepper does not particularly want any canine companions in the home, though he has learned to begrudgingly tolerate his current furry housemates. He also still exhibits some resource guarding behaviors, so at this time we're not looking to place him in a home with other dogs (including frequent visitors) or small children.
