Pepper is a 5 month old female Miniature Schnauzer who weighs in at 10 pounds. This pup's adoption fee is $850. If you are still interested, please read more below.
Pepper is a sweet female puppy looking for a peaceful home where she can feel safe and loved. She thrives in calm environments and would be the perfect companion for someone who has the patience to let her come out of her shell at her own pace. She bonds with other dogs right away (so it would be great for her to have another dog in the house) but likes to observe and evaluate her humans before trusting them. With time and gentle encouragement, she has already begun to seek the affection of her foster family. If you’re ready to offer Pepper the nurturing home she’s been searching for, you’ll gain a loyal friend who will reward your patience with the deepest kind of love.
This pup is micro-chipped, up to date on all vaccinations, and spayed. The new family will be required to complete a basic obedience course of their choosing.
Please note ARF does not approve applications for any puppy under 6 months of age to families that live outside of Illinois and/or beyond 100 miles of Wheaton or Glen Ellyn, IL.
