NOTE: Please read our entire write-up before contacting us. If you don't know the age, breed, weight, what vet care we provide our dogs, the adoption fee, or how to apply, you have not read the write-up. Pepper Breed: Shih Tzu/Chihuahua/Cocker Spaniel mix DOB: 4-10-2024 Gender: Female, spayed Weight: Expected adult weight of 12 to 15 pounds Microchipped Adoption Fee: $400 Pepper is a wonderful little puppy! She is so smart and sassy! When she sees her people, she runs to them for attention. She's done great with recent thunderstorms and is working on house training! She is also working on basic commands, but her new family will need to expect to work on them, as well! This little trooper will enjoy hikes in our area parks, walks on area Greenways, and walks around her neighborhood! She's little pistol and would do great with another dog in her home as a playmate! However, her family will be her pack, if there are no other pets. As a young puppy, Pepper will need to continue her socialization with humans, other animals, and different textures to walk on. She will also need to visit new environments. Great resources for those planning on getting a puppy are Ian Dunbars books: Before You Get Your Puppy and After You Get Your Puppy! You can get both books in digital form for free from his website, siriuspup.com.
