My name is Pepo!

PEPO NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!!

Come meet Pepo and other great adoptable dogs this Sunday (12/22/2024) from 12-3 pm at the PetSmart in Silver Spring (12020 Cherry Hill Road, Silver Spring, MD 20904)!

Name: Pepo        Best Guess for Breed: Shepherd and heeler mix

Best Guess for Age:  10 months as of September 2024     SEX: Male

Approximate Weight:  48 lbs as of 9/7/23; likely has a bit more to grow. 

Gets Along With:   Pepo is good with other dogs! We have tested him with some of the cats at the shelter and while he did not seem particularly interested in chasing or pouncing on the cat. While this is a positive sign that he could live with a cat, he has not done so to our knowledge. If you have cats in your home, we are happy to discuss with you how to best introduce a new pup to your pack! We haven't seen him with kids but he can be tested.

Currently Living at:   DC area foster home.

Special Adoption Considerations: After being rescued from the streets, he was very scared and shut down. However, he has been making great strides. We think Pepo would do best with either a resident dog or a family who can make sure he can go on walks regularly with other dogs, visit the dog park, or go to doggie daycare to continue to build confidence.

Pepo is Looking For:   Hiya! I'm Pepo, and I came from Puerto Rico and am looking for my forever family. I've been told my humans are in the DC area, and I can't wait to find them! I'm a young boy and have lots of energy for playing with you and going on all those adventures with you and all that good stuff you get from having me by your side! I'll also help you test all those toys to see which are the best - ropes for tug? Balls for fetch? Plushies to squeak? Let's try them all! Cuddles and happy tail wags when I see you are part of the package, natch. 

What do you say? Is that what you're looking for? 

What My Foster Says About Me: Meet Pepo, an adorable pup rescued from Puerto Rico's streets and brought to the U.S. for a fresh start. Pepo loves to play, explore, and cuddle! Pepo is making incredible progress since his rescue from the streets of Puerto Rico. This 'little pumpkin' is the perfect companion and a truly sweet soul. Pepo loves playing with our two resident dogs and is both smart and silly. He is quickly learning new commands and is eager to please. Pepo enjoys long walks and meeting new friends at the dog park. He's always ready for new adventures but also loves cuddling with his humans on the couch!
