Pepper's Story

One-of-a-Kind Pepper is looking for her Forever Home! Meet Pepper! This adorable, 4-month-old Chi mix is making the cross-country trek to NYC on Wednesday, January 7th, and she is looking for a family to meet her at the finish line. By applying to adopt, you'll participate in our foster-to-adopt program! Weighing in at a tiny 5 lbs, Pepper is a petite girl with a huge heart. While we can't predict her final size, her current stature suggests she'll stay on the smaller side—perfect for city living! The Pepper Profile: Personality: Very sweet and a total "A+" student. She is highly food-motivated, making her a dream for training! Logistics: Arriving early AM at JFK or later in the day in Manhattan on Wednesday, January 7 (1/7). Health: UTD on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped, and spayed. Pepper is ready for a lifetime of learning and love. (Note: Her brother Arthur is also available, but they are happy to be adopted independently!) Vaccinated for rabies, DHPP, and bordetella, heartworm negative, microchipped and neutered. Current on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention. To apply for Pepper, visit our website (www.waggytailrescue.org) for an adoption application. It is important to fill out an application as soon as possible for consideration, and we require a complete application for you to meet an animal. We are currently unable to respond to general email inquiries as an all-volunteer run rescue. If the dog is on our website, they are still available. Waggytail Rescue CANNOT guarantee the exact age of any adoptable dog, or final size of any of our adoptable puppies. We rely on the information provided to us by veterinarians, shelters, owner surrenders and other circumstances bringing the dog into our rescue. Adoptions: adopt@waggytailrescue.org
