About Pepper

Meet PepperPepper is an 8-month-old Siberian Husky/Shepherd mix who is a diamond in the rough just waiting for someone to give her the opportunity to discover how much fun life can be.Pepper was surrendered because her owner was no longer able to keep her in their apartment complex. She is an indoor dog who is crate trained and housebroken, although she may have an occasional excited pee. Once she is comfortable in her environment, she can be left alone in her crate without issue. She comes when called, is dog friendly and cat friendly, and has done well with children.What Pepper really needs now is a chance to be a dog. She spent much of her previous life indoors with very little mental stimulation and was crated for a significant amount of her time. She is sweet and loving, but she is also an energetic young Husky mix who has a whole lot of life waiting to come out. She loves to run and would thrive with an active family who wants to take her along for adventures and give her plenty of opportunities to exercise her body and her mind.Think hiking, backpacking, agility, long walks, running, playing, learning tricks, or simply spending the day exploring and enjoying the world together. She has the energy and enthusiasm to make a wonderful adventure partner.Pepper can be a little nervous or anxious in new situations, likely because she simply hasn’t had much exposure to the world outside of what she knew. She may bark, whine, or jump up when meeting people because she is still learning how to navigate exciting situations. With patience, consistency, positive experiences, and confidence building, we believe she is going to blossom into a wonderful dog.Pepper isn’t looking for a family who expects a perfectly polished dog right out of the gate. She needs a dedicated family willing to invest in her, give her structure, let her run and play, and show her all the things she has been missing.She has so much potential, and underneath that young, energetic Husky exterior is a sweet girl who just needs someone to believe in her. Give Pepper the opportunity to experience life, and you may get to watch a diamond in the rough become something pretty special.
