RESCUE ONLY DEADLINE 5PM 01/08/25 Name: Pepper Animal ID: A746127 Age: 4 years Weight: 58.4 lbs. About: Pepper is a beautiful brindle Shepherd who is looking for a loving and understanding forever home. She lived with her previous family since she was a puppy; they described her as an affectionate and playful girl who loves toys and being close to her humans. Pepper did well with small dogs in that home, was well-behaved when left home alone, and loves playing fetch. Pepper has been timid in the overwhelming shelter environment but has quickly won the hearts of many volunteers. Here`s what one of them said: “What a darling girl! Pepper is shy but sweet, and it takes some time to warm up. She loves cheese and it`s a good way to make friends. By our second meeting she was more confident. She even enjoyed ear rubs and petting.” Pepper can be fearful of new people and is sensitive to loud noises. She has also exhibited some resource guarding tendencies, resulting in a minor bite in her former home. Despite these challenges, Pepper is a loving dog who will thrive in a savvy, supportive home. Pepper shares her kennel with another PACC dog and has been tolerant and independent when meeting other dogs in playgroup. Pepper is looking for a patient and understanding family who is willing to work with a qualified trainer and who will help her build confidence. Adoption Process: Interested parties: •Must visit PACC before the 5:00 PM January 8, 2025, deadline to meet with an adoption counselor who will go over notes and then introduce you to ensure that it’s a good fit. •Are encouraged to reach out to a rescue group ASAP (even before coming to PACC), to start the rescue approval process.
