Peppermint

Meet Peppermint, the cool, refreshing swirl of sweetness you didn’t know your life was missing. At 18 pounds and about 3 years old, this Lhasa apso–poodle mix is as stunning as her name suggests—think soft curls, gentle eyes, and a “don’t rush me, I’m worth the wait” kind of vibe.<br/><br/>Peppermint isn’t the type to sprint into your arms upon meeting. She’s more of a slow melt—like a mint on your tongue that takes a moment before the flavor really kicks in. New people can feel a little chilly at first, but give her the time and space she needs, and she’ll warm up into the sweetest companion you could ask for. She just wants a family that understands that building trust is an act of love, not a race.<br/><br/>She’s currently learning the art of leash walking, which she approaches with all the cautious enthusiasm of someone who’s just figuring out that strolls are actually…kind of fun. With a patient hand and a little encouragement, she’s ready to bloom into a confident walker.<br/><br/>Peppermint is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. Her 4DX test came back negative, so she’s healthy and ready for her forever home.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a gorgeous gal who may start off a little cool but leaves a long-lasting sweetness in your heart, Peppermint is ready to make your home her own.<br/><br/>Want to meet her?
