Meet Pepper!
Location: Monroe, North Carolina Age: 2–3 years old Weight: Approximately 55 pounds Some dogs greet the world with wagging tails and zero personal boundaries. Pepper isn’t one of them—and that’s exactly what makes earning her trust so special. Pepper is a sweet, intelligent girl who simply likes to take her time getting to know new people and new places. She’ll let you know when she’s ready for affection, and once she does, you’ll discover a dog overflowing with love. She becomes a champion snuggler, loves giving kisses, and wants nothing more than to be close to her people. She’s much the same with other dogs. Pepper may be a little shy and reserved at first, but give her a little time and she blossoms into the social butterfly of the group. Before long, she’s playing, wrestling, and making new best friends. She has done wonderfully with dogs of all sizes. Pepper absolutely LOVES car rides and would happily volunteer as your full-time co-pilot. She also loves toys, peanut butter, and just about any treat you have to offer, making training both easy and fun. She already knows her basic commands, has excellent recall once she’s bonded with her person, and is eager to learn. We’re continuing to work on her leash manners, and while she can pull a bit, she’s incredibly smart and catches on quickly. She is fully house-trained and kennel-trained. At night, she’ll happily sleep in her kennel, but she’s equally content relaxing loose in the house if that’s your preference. She settles in beautifully and has wonderful house manners. One of Pepper’s funniest little quirks is that she’s a professional hide-and-seek champion. Don’t be surprised to find her happily snoozing beneath a bench, table, or tucked away in another cozy little nook she’s claimed as her own. Pepper is up to date on all vaccinations, spayed, microchipped, and kept current on heartworm, flea, and tick prevention. Because she’s a sensitive girl, Pepper can be startled by unfamiliar loud noises and isn’t comfortable with sudden hand movements. She is also not a good fit for a home with teenage boys. What she needs most is someone willing to give her a few days to decompress and build trust at her own pace. Once Pepper knows she’s safe, the walls come down, her goofy personality shines, and she becomes one of the most affectionate, loyal companions you could ever hope to have. Pepper isn’t looking for someone to change who she is. She’s looking for someone who understands that the very best relationships are built on patience, kindness, and trust. If you’re willing to give Pepper a little time, she’ll spend the rest of her life proving she was worth the wait. Pepper is UTD on vaccines, spayed and microchipped so her adoption fee is $375 If you're interested in Pepper, please fill out an adoption application and email Vicki at [email protected] REVIEWING APPLICATIONS
REVIEWING APPLICATIONSHershey is a 2-to-4-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer currently being fostered in Asheville, North Carolina. He came to the rescue after being found abandoned on a farm in South Carolina, but he hasn't let his rough start slow him down. Don't let his distinguished gray face fool you—while he looks like an old-timer, multiple vets have confirmed he is a young adult with plenty of fun puppy energy. He has the most amazing, loving eyes and looks at you like you are his whole world. Even the staff at his veterinary office was charmed by him during his visits.
Since coming into rescue, Hershey has dealt with a couple of health issues including a very rare case of metronidazole toxicity. Through every single vet visit, treatment, and poke, he was an absolute sweetheart and a perfect patient, completely winning over the clinic staff with his gentle demeanor. If you are looking for a true "shadow dog," Hershey is exactly that. He is a fantastic cuddler who wants nothing more than to be right next to his people. He is great at fetch and will gladly play as long as you are willing to throw. In fact, he will even “throw” the ball at you after retrieving. When not playing fetch, you can find Hershey throwing toys up in the air and catching them while running around. It is truly a joy to watch! Despite his high energy during play, he possesses a great "off-switch" and knows how to settle down once play time is over. Hershey is fully kennel trained, knows the command "crate up," and goes into his kennel easily. He is used to walking on a prong collar, but has also had some experience with a harness. Compared to other GSPs, his leash pulling is very minor, making walks very enjoyable. He is highly food-motivated, which makes training a lot of fun. He is currently making great progress learning "sit," "down," and "stay." His recall is okay but still a work in progress. He shows great indications that he could eventually be trusted off-leash, as he has shown absolutely no desire to run away or escape, and he has never attempted to jump the fence in the yard. Adopters should note that Hershey's high food motivation means he will absolutely be a stealthy counter-surfer if snacks are left unattended when you aren't looking. Additionally, because he is an active young sporting dog, he is currently burning through calories faster than he can keep them on. His foster family and vets are working on helping him gain weight, so his future adopter will need to be committed to keeping him on a high-quality diet to build up his frame. Animal and Home Compatibility: Hershey absolutely loves other dogs and gets along great with medium-to-large companions. However, he has a strong prey drive and is not good with small dogs or cats. He is fine with children-over the age of six, and would make a wonderful family companion for a home that can provide a stable daily routine, a secure yard for fetch, and continued guidance on his basic manners. Hershey is a happy, healthy boy who is UTD on vaccines, neutered, and microchipped so his adoption fee is $375.
