pepper

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Pepper is a sweet little girl who is smart, playful, and curious. At just 10 weeks, Pepper is doing so well with crate training and potty training. She is figuring out that she needs to go to the door to tell her humans when it’s potty time, to sit when it’s treat time, and that the kennel means it’s sleepy time. Pepper loves to play in the snow and is learning to fetch. Kids are her favorite humans. She has lots of kisses for them and loves to snuggle up with them when it’s nap time. Pepper is curious but cautious with strange people and dogs but warms up to them quickly. Pepper’s ears are conspicuously adorable and she can aim them just about any direction she wants to without moving her head. When you come home, Pepper’s so happy to see you that she can’t keep her little body from wiggling. No matter how busy she is, Pepper will stop and stand still for belly rubs and butt scratches. Pepper is from a local reservation. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract.

We cannot guarantee the breed or size they will be full grown.* If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.   Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 11, 2026, 9:16 am
