Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi, I’m Pepper! I’m a sweet and sassy nine-year-old female chihuahua, spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and fully vetted. I may be only five pounds, but I’ve got a big personality and an even bigger heart! Are you ready for a little dog to add some spice to your life? I think I’m the one to do it!
My name may be Pepper, but I can be a little salty if I’m confronted with strangers, especially if I think they’re trying to get to my special person. I bark at strangers and at other dogs I meet on my walks. I have a high-pitched bark, but I don’t use it all the time, mostly just when I’m frightened or when I’m excited that my human has come home. If a stranger comes too close and I feel scared, I bare my teeth and threaten to bite. Yes, I tend to overreact, but I don’t take long to bond with my human. When I met my foster mom, I was frightened and reactive, but I bonded with her in just a couple of days!
Now that I know my foster mom, I have become her little shadow, following her all around and insisting I sleep in her bed. I love cuddles and kisses–I’m glad she does too! My time with her is helping me be less afraid of others; I think I just need time to feel secure and comfortable. My foster mom says I’m smart, food-motivated, and easy to train: I already know sit, down, and paw, and I can’t wait to learn more!
I’m looking for a forever home where I can be the sole queen of the house, as I really don’t like to share my human with other dogs or kids. I’ll also need a fenced yard too since I’m not a fan of going on walks. I’ll probably be scared when we first meet, but I promise I’ll be your devoted best friend in no time!
Pepper’s adoption fee is $300. If you are interested in adopting Pepper, please DO NOT SEND A MESSAGE TO OUR RESCUE GROUP. We are too busy placing dogs in great homes to answer messages and inquiries through the listing site.
