Hi, I'm Pepper and I've lived a rough life! I was dumped at 2 years old to a shelter and adopted out a few months later only to be dumped in the country again. I have some trust issues but give me a day and I will love you so much! I love all dogs and cats. But kids are my absolute favorite over the age of 6. I don't want my tail pulled! As you can see, I was over fed and need to lose a few lbs.! I'm not happy about it because I live to eat! When I first meet people, I'm snarky and not happy about it because I have enough friends as it is, but mom says I have to so again give me a few minutes and I will love you! My absolute favorite thing in the world is car rides! I could do them all day long so if you know a trucker looking for a friend, I'd be happy to be copilot (just no gas station snacks allowed mom says)! Or if you have a kid, I also like to spend my day with them!
All Pet Central animals are up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, spayed or neutered, microchipped (registration included), and current on parasite prevention. Dogs over six-months of age are heartworm tested. When adopting, we will ensure that you receive copies of veterinary and microchip records.
If you are interested in this pet, please fill out the brief Adopter Survey by hitting "Apply for Adoption" on the profile.
After we review your completed survey we will contact you by phone or email within three business days. We're primarily a volunteer organization, so we appreciate your patience. Please note- Out of respect for our volunteers and staff, we are closed on Sundays and Mondays and will not be processing any applications on that day. Do get back to us right away when we call or email regarding an application so that we can quickly connect using the process below:
Select a pet and submit an online adoption survey.
A PCH adoption counselor will contact potential adopters within three business days (PCH cannot guarantee any pet's availability, but we make every effort to accommodate adopters with a reply and possible alternative suggestions). Counselor and client will then have a conversation to answer questions, discuss any medical needs for the pet and determine the suitability of a match (if necessary, we may opt to put adopters in touch with foster parents).
After a match is made, clients will be asked to sign our adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee online through our secure payment system *Please see our modified no-risk return policy. (below)
The PCH adoption counselor will then set up a specific appointment time and location.
Adopters should bring a pet carrier and leash to pick up. Adult pets will be wearing a collar. It is important that clients arrive on time, neither early nor late.
If your adoption is scheduled at Pet Central Helps!:
Upon arrival inside the Crossroads Center complex (360 Wylie Drive), look for the black Pet Central Helps! semi-trailer, which is right outside of our facility (Suite 720).
Park in the parking lot and enter the facility. A PCH representative will greet you and show you to the adoption room. Your new pet will be handed to you. We will take a "Happy Adoption Day photo with your pet and family.
If your adoption is scheduled at PetSmart:
Park in the PetSmart Parking lot and enter the store. We will be set up just inside the store entrance. Let us know you are here to pick up your pet! A PCH representative will confirm your information and hand you your pet. We will take a "Happy Adoption Day photo with your pet and family.
PCH supports a 21-day no-fault return policy in which adopters are given the opportunity to find a better match. If we are not able to provide advice/tools to keep a pet in the home we offer these options:
Exchange for a pet that may be a better match**
Receive a refund minus a $40 processing fee**
With this approach, we can often turn mismatches into opportunities!
Thank you,
Pet Central Helps!

In order to increase efficiency and to support the well-being of the pets in our care, the first time an adopter will meet the pet they are adopting is at their scheduled pick up time. Instead of meet-and-greets prior to adoptions, PCH supports a 21-day-no-fault return policy in which adopters are given the opportunity to find a better match.
