PEPPA

My story

Hi, I’m Peppa! I’m a 3-year-old tan and white pit bull mix with a signature toothy smile that’s impossible to ignore. I have a charming look and a personality that’s just waiting to shine in the right home. I’m at a wonderful age where I’m ready to settle into a routine and become someone’s loyal companion. If you’re looking for a dog who will greet you with a smile and fill your days with warmth, I’d love the chance to be your girl.I came to the shelter as a stray and am now looking for a fresh start and a place to call home. When I first arrived, I was pretty nervous and unsure, but thanks to the kind and patient staff here I’m learning that I’m safe and cared for while I wait for my forever family.I can be a little nervous about things like medical exams, so the staff is helping me build confidence through gentle handling and fun training activities. They’re also helping me get back to a healthy weight (I’m a bit chubby right now- guess I enjoyed some good snacks before coming in!).One thing you should know about me right away: I LOVE to play! Fetch is my absolute favorite game, and I’m happiest when I’m outside having fun with my people. And when playtime is done? I turn into a total cuddle bug. The staff say it best:“She loves to give hugs and snuggles and is full of love all the time!”I may be a little shy at first, but once I get to know you, my affectionate and loving personality really shines. I can be enthusiastic with my affection and would benefit from some basic training to help me be my best self.Right now, the shelter is still learning how I do with other dogs. I’ve shown some reactivity and haven’t joined playgroups yet, so a patient home willing to continue positive training would be wonderful. Because I can be nervous, I’d do best in a home with mature teens or adults, at least for now.The shelter staff are so nice to me and I love them, but the noises and environment at the shelter are really stressing me out. It is simply too much for a sensitive girl like me. I was recently in foster and it wasn`t the right fit for me,but I loved getting out of the shelter and it gave me hope. I would love tofind a new foster home—or even better, a forever home—where I can keep growing,playing, and sharing all the love I have to give. If you’re looking for aplayful, snuggly companion with a big heart, I might just be your girl! Comemeet me today to see if we could be a good fit together!If thi
