Adopt Peppy!

Peppy is a ~60-lb sweetheart with the perfect blend of calm companion and playful goofball. She’s fully potty trained, does great in a crate, and has earned free-roam privileges in her foster home—she truly wants to be a good girl. Her estimated birthday is 10/21/2024.

While Peppy can be a little shy when first meeting new people, once she feels safe, her affectionate personality shines. She bonds deeply with her people and loves staying close—whether that means following her foster mom from room to room or curling up at night for some serious big-spoon cuddles.

Peppy is wonderfully social with animals and would thrive in a home with furry friends. She adores cats (yes, really!)—she grooms them, cuddles them, and even plays gently. She also loves other dogs and has the sweetest play style, complete with heart-melting play bows. A confident canine buddy could help her continue building confidence, though it’s not required.

At home, Peppy is relaxed and easygoing, with occasional bursts of puppy-like energy that include joyful jumps, rolls, and toy-toting parades to the bed. She’s not particularly food-motivated, but she’s eager to please and responds beautifully to gentle guidance. She’s also incredibly tolerant and trusting—nail trims, ear cleanings, handling, and car rides are all no problem for this gentle girl.

New sights and sounds can make Peppy a little nervous at first (like loud noises or unfamiliar people on walks), but she looks to her human for reassurance and settles quickly with calm support. She’s alert and will let you know if something unfamiliar is happening, then happily relaxes once she knows all is well.

Overall, Peppy is a loving, loyal, low-key companion who just wants to feel safe, loved, and included. If she had a job, it would absolutely be professional Netflix reviewer and full-time cuddle buddy.

Peppy is ready to bring her gentle heart and quiet joy into a forever home—could that be yours?
