Pepper Shih Tzu Mix Homer Glen, IL

Pepper is a happy, waggy-tailed, 12-pound male Shih Tzu. Black with just a touch of white on his chest and chin, we are guessing his age to be somewhere between 2 and 3-years-old. Pepper was picked up as a stray by animal control so we have no background. He is a very playful, bouncy, friendly boy, always on the lookout for a hug, a pet, or a cuddle. Pepper appears to be housetrained but will need time to adjust to your home and schedule. He has no problem with confinement but prefers to be around people or another small dog. Apparently okay with older children, he enjoys playing with other small dogs and is curious but harmless with cats. Pepper likes car rides, going for walks or exploring the back yard, entertaining playtimes, naps in the sunshine or curled up in a nice bed, snuggles on a warm lap and lots of hugs. This sweet innocent little pet is the perfect family dog and he belongs in a loving home. A home that will enjoy the adorable little dance he does to catch your attention. A family who will see in his adoring eyes the trust and companionship Pepper has to offer. A guardian who will return that trust with love and care and give this special little Shih Tzu the home he should have had from the start. Are you that special someone who would like to provide the happily ever after to Pepper's story?
