My name is Pepi!

Hi! I’m Pepi (peppy), a two year old shepherd/husky mix. I was a reservation stray, until some nice people picked me up and moved me into a warm house! I showed my gratitude by delivering 9 little puppies a week later. Now that they’ve grown, I’m looking for a place to crash permanently! I have LOTS of puppy-like energy still! I’d love to find someone who will go on tons of walks and adventures, but I wouldn’t mind hanging at home either. What I need most is someone able to give me consistent expectations and a routine. I am food motivated so should be able to learn all of the tricks with some time, training, and most importantly, tasty treats!! I happily jump in for rides in the car, however longer rides can make me anxious. I like to ride in the front seat for this reason.

My foster mom says I’m a fun-loving dog, basically I think she means that I’m up for anything! I have been doing really well on walks as long as you use a harness. I can be very impatient and will require a strong handler and further training. I can get excited when I see people, but if you help me stay focused I can keep it together (mostly)! I’m potty trained if I’m kept on a schedule. I’m a good girl in my kennel and I sleep through the night there but I do think I would much rather cuddle up in bed with you! I don’t cause MUCH trouble when I’m left out of the kennel while I’m home alone. I’m an intense rough-houser, so nobody under 20 lbs at this time. I can also be selective with my friends and I’m way too much energy for a lot of dogs. I probably will never be a dog park candidate or a good candidate for a house where lots of dogs visit. Any of my potential siblings will require a slow intro so that I can judge them from a distance.

I’m okay with cats, but do sometimes get in my head to play chase. I LOVE kids, but again, I’m big and rough, so some little kids might not like me much. I love getting right up in your personal space and getting pets, especially a good belly rub! I absolutely love giving you all the kisses in the world! I  love everyone I meet and will instantly give them kisses as well!

I wouldn’t mind being an only child. When I’m on my own, I’m very chill! I love laying out in the sunshine or watching TV on the couch with you. Introduce another dog, and my energy level doubles though! My foster mom says I need some consistency and continued training to feel secure. There are lots of dogs in my current home and sometimes my behavior reflects that.

Overall I’m a happy-go-lucky gal, the name Pepi suits me very well! If you’re looking for someone to add some excitement to your life, let me know! I’d love to meet you!
