Meet Pepino!

Pepino is a gentle, sensitive boy who is making wonderful progress as he adjusts to life outside the shelter. He’s still learning that the world is a safe place, so he’s looking for a patient, understanding family who will give him the time and space he needs to truly come out of his shell.

This sweet and submissive pup gets along well with other dogs, especially calm, mellow companions who match his easygoing nature. Pepino has a medium energy level—he enjoys playful bursts of zoomies after a nap but is just as happy relaxing nearby once he feels comfortable.

Pepino is house trained and will let you know when he needs to go outside. If he can’t make it in time, he will use washable puppy pads, showing just how hard he’s trying to be a good boy. He may be a little unsure around new people and might bark at first, but with patience and gentle introductions, he warms up and begins to trust.

He is crate trained and will settle into a wire crate, though he may whine briefly as he gets comfortable. Pepino is still building confidence on walks, so a home with a fenced yard would be ideal to help him feel safe while he continues to grow.

Because Pepino can become a bit nippy when he feels overwhelmed or needs space, he would do best in a home without young children and with adopters who understand and respect his boundaries.

Above all, Pepino is looking for a kind, patient person who will support and encourage him while showing him that the world can be a safe and happy place. With time, love, and understanding, Pepino is sure to blossom into a deeply loyal and loving companion.
