Hi⦠Iâm Peppa! When I first came to the shelter as a stray, I was very scared. The world felt big and confusing, and I wasnât sure who I could trust. No one knows what my life was like before I arrived, but sometimes new things, and people still make me nervous.The kind people here have been so patient with me. Theyâve given me time, gentle voices, and lots of encouragement. Because of them, Iâve started to bloom. Iâm still learning that Iâm safe but every day gets a little easier.It can take me a little while to warm up to new people. I just need a little patience and understanding. Once I trust you though, I really trust you. I love to be close. Iâll curl up in your lap, ask for hugs and kisses, and follow you from room to room just to be near you. Sweet talk makes me feel very special. Peanut butter and treats help too â those are some of my favorite things!Iâm learning so many new things right now. Walks can still feel a little scary sometimes, but Iâm trying. Iâm also working hard on being brave for medical care. Itâs a lot, but Iâm doing my best.I would really love a family who will continue helping me grow. If we worked on basic obedience training together, I think it would help me build confidence and bond with you even more. I want to feel proud and secure and I want to know I belong. I need to be the only animal in my home, as other dogs can make me feel unsure. I would also do best in a home with mature teens or adults who can help me feel calm and safe.The staff here say Iâm a wonderful little lady. They say Iâm sweet and snuggly and that Iâve come such a long way. I may be shy at first, sometimes I even hesitate like Iâm not sure Iâm âallowedâ to get on the couch, but once I know itâs okay, I just want to be close to you.What Iâm really looking for is someone patient. Someone kind. Someone who will move at my pace and show me that the world isnât so scary after all.If you have a quiet home and a gentle heart, I think we could be something really special together!If this dog has been successful in our play groups it is not a guarantee that a dog will be social with other dogs in their home or in public settings. Dogs are individuals and have personality conflicts, just like us. Play groups do not guarantee that territorial or resource guarding issues will not surface in the home. While play groups do help us get to know the dog's better, once they are adopted their new environments and new relationships will influence their behavior in ways we cannot predict.The Adoption Fee Includes:- initial canine distemper combination vaccination- first worming or stool check- rabies vaccination (for animals over 3 months of age)- 24 Petwatch microchipping- flea treatment/preventative- spaying or neutering-heartworm testingAdoption fee: $135.00Per state law, ALL ADOPTERS must purchase a non-refundable 2025 dog license at time of adoption for any canine three months and older.
