My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website www.wiseanimalrescue.org/adoption-application!

*PLEASE READ BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH AN ADOPTION APPLICATION*

- Due to factors beyond our control, transport costs for these pups were much higher than what we have been accustomed to - costs for health certificates and medical + transport for each dog with no allowances for shared crates were $335 per dog. With these factors taken into account, as well as the care needs for these particular pups, we need to request a donation above our normal request. We are asking for a donation of $850 from each adopter. The same $600 will be used to support our program and the additional $250 will be used toward the cost of transport. We appreciate the understanding of our potential adopters. Please keep this in mind prior to applying

- ONE application per household. We will only consider your family for one of our available puppies so please apply for only one.

Name: Peppermint
Breed: Lhasa Apso
Age: 5 months
Gender: male

Home Recommendation: Peppermint is very young and is looking for an home who is home more often than not to spend time playing and training him. We'd prefer he go into a home with another adult dog to show him the ropes. His forever home must be experienced and ready to put him through training so he can become the well-behaved adult we know he can be!

Medical: Peppermint came to WISE with severe glycoma which was a result of a poor birth defect. He urgently saw a vet and the best course of action was to remove his eye. Despite this, Peppermint is a happy boy! He just needs slow greetings so he does not get startled.

Personality: Peppermint is known for his sweet charm and laid-back temperament! He is happiest in people and dogs' company, whether it's hanging out watching TV or spending time outside. He may be shy at first greeting, but he will quickly come out of his shell and show you how much of a lover he is!

Kids: 13+

Dogs: Yes! He loves other dogs.

Cats: Unknown

Crate Trained: Yes! Peppermint does great in a crate.

House Trained: Working on it!

Why did he come to WISE? Peppermint was seen as a reject due to his eye and was not seen profitable by a pet shop. He was destined to be destroyed but WISE wasn't going to let that happen and took him into our program.
