Pepper - Fostered in Omaha

Meet Pepper – Sweet Mama Turned Playful Companion <br/><br/>Pepper's story began when she was found as a stray and taken to a pound in southern Missouri. Thankfully, she made her way into rescue—just in time to safely deliver her nine puppies (the Pepper Litter) on June 22, 2025. Now that her pups no longer need her, this loving girl is ready to find a forever family of her own.<br/><br/>Pepper is a 37-pound , 2 yr old sweetheart who loves people and will happily curl up beside you on the couch. She's discovering the joy of toys and loves playing with the other dogs in her foster home. At first, she was unsure about larger dogs, but once given time to warm up, she became best buddies with them.<br/><br/>This smart girl has great house manners. She uses the dog door and will also go to the door to let you know when she needs outside. Pepper is crate trained, going in willingly for meals, treats, or naps. She's also done well crated overnight, though her favorite place to sleep is with her foster family's teen—she'll even scratch at the door to remind you she'd like to snuggle.<br/><br/>Having come from a background where food wasn't guaranteed, Pepper can still be protective in the kitchen. If she's adopted into a home with other dogs, it's best to kennel her during meal prep and eating times. Outside of that, she's relaxed, gentle, and happy.<br/><br/>Pepper has been spayed, microchipped, and brought up to date on vaccines (8/28/25), and she is on heartworm prevention. She's ready to move on from her role as super mom and become someone's loyal, playful, and affectionate companion. If interested in adding some spice to your life, please fill out an application for Pepper at www.bassetandbeagle.org. Her adoption fee is $375.
