Story
Hello good people of the Northeast, my name is Pepper and I am a plump 6.5-year-old Dachshund mix weighing 25 lbs, and I am currently on a diet. I have been living in Connecticut with my owner, but when she could no longer get around, I was stuck indoors with nothing to do but eat, sleep, snack, potty, repeat. It wasn't the best lifestyle for me but I was loved. Later on when she could no longer care for me a kindly neighbor brought me home to foster while helping me find a new forever home, and that is where you come in… I am ready to be adopted!
I am a happy and friendly boy, with medium energy, not a couch potato any longer, good with people and other dogs, shy when meeting strangers, and not too keen on being picked up. It had been so long since I had playmates that I about go bonkers when I have doggy friends to play with and doggy toys, especially the ones with crinkle sounds. No stuffing, please. I am affectionate, kissy, snuggly, and cuddly, and if you don't mind 25 lbs on your lap, then I’m a lap dog! I am well-behaved and rarely bark, at least until it's mealtime, and then I happily dance and hop and bark for joy when I see my food bowl coming. I don't dig in the yard or eat your things, and I know how to use a potty pad while working on my housebreaking skills. I’ll go for a walk with some encouragement, and a few extra walks should help me find my youthful physique again. I’m not in love with being kept in a crate, but I will go in when asked. I’d rather be hanging out in my doggy bed or your bed if that's okay. So, what do you think? I’m looking for new digs and you are looking for a new dog, I think we should meet!
