My story

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

Pepper is a playful and attentive dog, his black and white tail continually wagging. During lower energy times, he will happily lean into you and become a giant cuddle bug.

As a smart guy with good house manners, Pepper knows Sit, Stay, Shake, and Place (lying down on his mat for some duration). He is house- and crate-trained but is not currently crated when left home alone. Pepper is food motivated, which makes him a joy to train.

A fenced yard would be great for Pepper but is not necessary with sufficient daily walks and indoor play. Pepper likes other dogs, and might thrive with a doggy housemate, although he's always been an only dog in the past. A friendly fellow, he likes meeting new people but can get excited when greeting strangers for the first time in the home. Older children are preferred due to his size.

On daily walks around the neighborhood, Pepper does fairly well on the leash and does not pull much. However, he can get over-excited to greet other dogs on leash, so continued training is a good idea.

A perfect day for Pepper includes a good walk with lots of sniffing, play with chew toys or bouncing balls, belly rubs, and some quiet couch time. Will you be the person to make his perfect day a dream come true?

HISTORY
Pepper came into IAR to find his new forever home after his owner could no longer care for him due to family medical issues.

HEALTH
Pepper is up-to-date on all vaccinations, microchipped, heartworm negative, and neutered.

PHYSICAL
Pepper is lean and fit, with a short black and white coat. He has intelligent brown eyes, adorable black spots on his nose, and soft, floppy ears.

Our goal is finding lifelong, loving homes for our animals, so we try to find the best match between animal and adopter. We can help advise you on which animals to meet based on your situation.

You can meet some of our animals at our weekend adoption events, or we can arrange for a meeting in the foster home. If it’s a good match, the foster parent will come to visit your home in person. This is to make sure your home is safe and secure for a new companion animal.

More about this rescue

IAR started with one woman's big dreams, a bigger heart, and a very distinctive purple pickup truck that helped her rescue countless of unwanted, abused, and homeless Triangle pets. Originally founded in 1994, IAR earned an official 501(c)(3) status in 1995. We are governed by a Board of Directors, managed by elected officers, and introduced IAR’s first paid position, General Manager, in June 2021. This role will assist with elevating our collective compassion to new heights and strengthening IAR’s impact as a whole.

Our mission is to rescue and provide safe and responsible care for homeless, abandoned, and abused animals. We shall strive to help all animals in need through our service programs. We will serve our communities through promotion of spay/neuter for all companion animals, and the education of children and adults in humane care, respect and responsibility for animals on this earth.
