Pepper's Story

Meet Pepper! This adorable puppy is approximately three-months-old and some sort of Chihuahua mix. Pepper and his brother Salt were taken in from a property in Tonopah that we have been helping for a few years. Both pups were very shy and under-socialized, so we are helping to socialize them while they wait for their forever families to find them. Pepper is still pretty shy with new people, but he has made great progress so far and we have no doubt he will fully blossom in his forever home. Pepper will avoid the humans by zooming away, but he has started to shyly approach to lick our hand. If you corner him, he will allow you to pick him up and hold/pet him. Pepper will need time to adjust in his new home and a very secure environment (fenced yard, no apartments) as he is a flight-risk. Pepper is shy but he LOVES to play and gets really excited when other dogs are around. We feel Pepper would do best in a home with another dog who can help him get comfortable faster in his new home. Pepper loves to zoom and play and has the cutest little bunny-hops when he's excited. He especially loves to play with his bro, Salt. Pepper and Salt don't have to be adopted together, but if you're looking for a duo, these two go great together like, well, salt and pepper! ;-)<br/>Remember that while puppies are cute, they are also work! Please make sure you are ready for the commitment of adopting a young dog. Puppies become adult dogs and are meant to be loved for their whole life, not just until they grow up. Puppies will need lots of patience to help them learn their best doggy manners, leash-training, and house-training. Adoption fees are $500 per puppy and include vaccinations, microchip, and eventual alter surgery at the PAWS clinic on Cave Creek Road in Phoenix. Per our vet, we do not alter puppies until around five months, which helps with hormone development and bone growth. Adopters will sign a contract that you will bring Pepper to the PAWS clinic for neuter surgery, sometime in July 2026.
