About Pepper

Pepper is an 8-year-old, 35-pound Border Collie mix with a beautiful white-and-gray coat and a heart full of love for the right family. She is a giant cuddle bug who simply enjoys being near her people, whether you're watching television, making dinner, or watering the garden. She's equally happy relaxing at home or heading out for a hike, and she never turns down a good walk. Pepper is intelligent, highly trainable, and motivated to learn. She knows commands like sit, lay down, stay, and walk, is crate-trained, and is fully vaccinated. She does well when left home alone, with no accidents or destructive behavior. She takes Prozac and Apoquel and has some arthritis in her legs, so her ongoing care and comfort should be considered when planning her routine. Pepper's family has worked hard to help her adjust to life with their growing toddler, including making significant changes and working with a trainer. Unfortunately, young children make her uncomfortable, and she has shown resource guarding around food, treats, and her favorite person. For everyone's safety and Pepper's well-being, she needs a home **without young children; a home with adults and children ages 10 and older may be a better fit.** Pepper may do well with some dogs when introductions are handled carefully and food, treats, and toys are kept separate. Any placement with other dogs requires careful assessment and management. She currently lives with three cats and may chase them, although her family reports that she has not bitten them. Because she also chases deer and chickens, a home without small animals or with appropriate separation and secure management would be worth considering. This decision has not come easily to Pepper's family. They love her and have genuinely tried to make things work, but they recognize that she needs an environment better suited to her comfort and safety. Pepper deserves a peaceful home where she can relax, enjoy companionship, get out for walks and adventures, and receive the understanding and structure she needs to thrive.
