peppa

Hi there, I’m Peppa! I came to the shelter as a stray and am now looking for a fresh start and a place to call home. When I first arrived, I was pretty nervous and unsure, but thanks to the kind and patient staff here I’m learning that I’m safe and cared for while I wait for my forever family.I can be a little nervous about things like medical exams, so the staff is helping me build confidence through gentle handling and fun training activities. They’re also helping me get back to a healthy weight (I’m a bit chubby right now- guess I enjoyed some good snacks before coming in!).One thing you should know about me right away: I LOVE to play! Fetch is my absolute favorite game, and I’m happiest when I’m outside having fun with my people. And when playtime is done? I turn into a total cuddle bug. The staff say it best:“She loves to give hugs and snuggles and is full of love all the time!”I may be a little shy at first, but once I get to know you, my affectionate and loving personality really shines. I can be enthusiastic with my affection and would benefit from some basic training to help me be my best self.Right now, the shelter is still learning how I do with other dogs. I’ve shown some reactivity and haven’t joined playgroups yet, so a patient home willing to continue positive training would be wonderful. Because I can be nervous, I’d do best in a home with mature teens or adults, at least for now.I would love to find a foster home—or even better, a forever home—where I can keep growing, playing, and sharing all the love I have to give. If you’re looking for a playful, snuggly companion with a big heart, I might just be your girl! Come meet me today to see if we avould be a good fit together!If this dog has been successful in our play groups it is not a guarantee that a dog will be social with other dogs in their home or in public settings. Dogs are individuals and have personality conflicts, just like us. Play groups do not guarantee that territorial or resource guarding issues will not surface in the home. While play groups do help us get to know the dog`s better, once they are adopted their new environments and new relationships will influence their behavior in ways we cannot predict.The Adoption Fee Includes:- initial canine distemper combination vaccination- first worming or stool check- rabies vaccination (for animals over 3 months of age)- 24 Petwatch microchipping
