The primary purpose of Peppertree is to help find homes for dogs in need who represent the character and temperament commonly associated with Golden Retrievers friendliness, intelligence and a peaceful, loving nature.
In addition to accepting dogs of any breed or mix that meet our temperament requirements, Peppertree is also a recognized Golden Retriever rescue organization (http://www.grca-nrc.org/). We frequently have purebred Goldens available for adoption, and we have an established relationship with Memphis Area Golden Retriever Rescue (MAGRR).

Peppertree Special Pet - Boo (a.k.a. sage)
BOO (A.K.A. SAGE) - English Setter Mix, male, 7 years. Boo is a small and handsome boy who came to Peppertree from South Carolina. He is a sweet boy who gets along well with the other dog and only sometimes shows too much interest in the cats in his current foster home. He loves to take walks on the leash, although he acts like he is bird hunting so the walk can be a bit of an adventure! Although Boo is a bit nervous and can be startled by unanticipated movements or noises, it is expected that his jumpiness will decrease as he continues to experience new activities and develop trust in his family. Boo likes attention such as being petted but he is also an independent boy who is comfortable on his own. He crates well and is well behaved in the house, too. In addition to the fact that he has an interesting black ring around one eye, Boo got his name because he arrived wearing a Halloween collar and leash!
