After spending time both in foster care and at the shelter, one thing has become incredibly clear: companionship means everything to Pepe.<br/>While in foster care, Pepe (also lovingly called Petey) thrived in a home environment. His foster mother described him as snuggly, social, and full of personality. He did well with dogs, cats, and people of all ages, and loved being included in everyday life.

Sometimes all he wants is someone nearby to share the moment with.<br/>Pepe especially enjoys yard time and sunbathing. You may find him stretched out in the grass or laying peacefully in the sunshine enjoying the fresh air. Because of his sensitive skin and previous skin condition, he does need some extra protection outdoors, including pet-safe sunscreen and SPF protective shirts to help prevent sunburn and keep him comfortable.<br/>Pepe originally came to us as a stray in rough condition, underweight and dealing with significant skin issues. With consistent care, treatment, and time, he has improved tremendously and continues to look and feel better.<br/>He is an enthusiastic, strong walker who enjoys being active and involved. Pepe would likely do best in a home where someone is around more often, such as a retired adopter, someone who works from home, or a household where he is not left alone for long periods of time. He truly thrives when he feels included and connected.<br/>Pepe's Best Qualities<br/> Extremely affectionate and people-oriented<br/> Friendly with dogs, cats, and people of all ages<br/> Loves companionship and being near his people<br/> Enjoys yard time, and lounging outside<br/> Goofy, social personality<br/> Has lived successfully in a home environment (house trained , crate trained) <br/> Resilient and has made incredible progress in his healing journey<br/> Adoption Fee: $0.00 (generously sponsored)<br/><br/>Foster Care Update: <br/>Pepe has been thriving in foster care and has shown himself to be a relaxed, affectionate companion. He does well being left home alone with free roam of the house and settles in comfortably. He has also done well with children, other dogs, long car rides, and even camping adventures.<br/><br/>His foster reports that Pepe responds best to gentle, positive reinforcement and can become fearful if corrected harshly. He is also an adventurous explorer who will take advantage of an open door, so a securely fenced yard and careful door management are recommended. His foster has noticed improvement in his skin after switching to a non-chicken diet. Due to his sensitive skin, it is still recommended that he wear pet-safe sunscreen and sun-protective clothing when spending time outdoors.<br/><br/><br/>Pepe is looking for someone who wants a true companion dog, the kind of dog who wants to follow you from room to room, relax beside you, and simply be part of your daily life. In return, he offers a best friend, affection, and a whole lot of love.<br/> Currently available in foster care, call to schedule a meet & greet today with Pepe!<br/> Caroline County Humane Society<br/> 407 W.
