My story

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

Whoandamp;#39;s bilingual you ask? Yep, I am fluent in both English AND Spanish! My name is Pepper, and Iandamp;#39;m an absolutely gorgeous, somewhat shy, but super sweet girl with a playful spirit, so ready to find my forever home. My previous owners adopted me when I was just two months old. It was very difficult for them to give me up and for me to lose them since it was the only home Iandamp;#39;d ever known. But it is for the best. I said I was a bit shy, and itandamp;#39;s true. I led a very sheltered life according to my owner, so I need to learn about new situations and being comfortable in them. Iandamp;#39;m learning quite a lot here at Great Plains as I wait for you to find me.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;I am both potty trained and kennel trained. I am also a good leash walker. I am super cuddly, I enjoy being pet, and Iandamp;#39;m always eager to give out my very special kisses. I know andamp;quot;sitandamp;quot;, andamp;quot;downandamp;quot;, and Iandamp;#39;m currently working on andamp;quot;roll overandamp;quot;, so Iandamp;#39;m a smart one. I love taking showers - yes, you read that right - a shower is the best thing since sliced bread. I love to play with toys like ropes and tennis balls and squeakies, and I can entertain myself for hours. I am truly a very well behaved young girl. I even loved to have long andamp;quot;conversationsandamp;quot; with my human. Yes, I might andamp;quot;mumble and grumbleandamp;quot; a little bit while conversing, but I just know I am getting my message across. Usually Iandamp;#39;m asking for a toy or a treat. Wanna listen to me? Maybe you could film me andamp;quot;talkingandamp;quot;, and we could go viral!andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;I also masquerade as a andamp;quot;lap dogandamp;quot; - even though Iandamp;#39;m a bit bigger than most lap dogs lol. I am a super fan of spending time with other dogs, especially when we can run around and have fun together. I am great at giving off a play bow or two to get the game going. Iandamp;#39;m bouncy and very playful. One of my favorite activities is splashing around in the doggy pools outside-itandamp;#39;s the best way to cool off and have a blast! Oh, and I should mention I love a good ZOOMIE every now and again. andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Great Plains thinks Iandamp;#39;d do best in a home with older kids who can keep up with my playful energy and give me the love and attention I so desperately want. If youandamp;#39;re looking for a loving, playful companion, Iandamp;#39;m your girl! Letandamp;#39;s dive into a lifetime of fun together.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Love from Pepper
