Peppertree Rescue Dogs on Trial Placement - Adoption Pending
The following dogs are on trial placement in a new home and are not currently available for adoption. All Peppertree adoptions begin with a minimum two-week trial period. The dogs below have been placed in adoptive homes but the adoption is not yet final.
BUSTER - Lab/Corgi, male, 2 years. Buster is a pint sized lab! He comes with all the spirit, energy, and affection with shorter legs! Buster really wants a family where he can play and run and be someone's best friend! He loves people and is good with other dogs and really needs an active canine companion in his home. Buster is a sweet, friendly dog that would make someone a great companion. He lived with children and was fine with them. He is not good with cats. Buster has some obsessive compulsive tendencies with lights. He will chase and dig at shadows and light reflections. This behavior is far worse when Buster does not get enough exercise. He needs a home that can consistently work on redirection and proper exercise. This behavior will never completely go away but can be managed. Buster should only be placed in a home that will crate him when no one is home so that he can not inadvertently reinforce his OCD while alone. And as stated above Buster should be placed with at least one other active dog so that when his family is home but can not be playing with him he can focus on the other dog in the home. He does well with all kinds of dogs in his foster home.
CALLIE - Shepherd Mix, female, 4 months. Callie is a sweet girl who is great with people (she wants to be near you all the time) and with other dogs. How she is with children and cats is unknown at this time.
DUNCAN - Basenji/Cattle Dog, male, 4 months. Duncan is an unique looking boy for whom we really have not figured out his breed! He is fine with people and other dogs- a typical male pup- a bit rambunctious! How he is with children and cats is unknown at this time.
GRACIE - Collie/Spaniel, female, 2 years. A sweet mid-sized girl (35-40 pounds) who appears to be good with all- people, other dogs, children and cats.
GUS - Black Lab Mix, male, 1 ˝-2 years. Gus came in with his “sister” Ivy from an out of state shelter. He is fully vetted but still needs to be neutered which is covered under the adoption fee. Gus is a sweet boy who is good with people and other dogs. While not tested with children, we believe he would be fine with them. Cats are unknown.
IVY - Black Lab Mix, female, 1 ˝-2 years. Ivy came in with her “brother” Gus from an out of state shelter. She is fully vetted but still needs to be spayed which is covered under the adoption fee. Ivy is a sweet girl who is good with people and other dogs. While not tested with children, we believe she would be fine with them. Cats are unknown.
JOBA - German Shepherd, male, 6 years. Joba came from the NYC Shelter System after his owner turned him in after having him for 5 years because he was moving. As typical of many German Shepherd’s in kennel situations, Joba did not do well and was very stressed. He did calm down a lot after his arrival and welcomed you at his cage door. He came out easily from his den (and is placed back without any problem). He walks nicely on the leash, stops when requested as well as sits. He is excellent with females- however he is extremely leery of males and will protect the lady he is with if a male approaches them. He is fine with other dogs and ignores cats. Because of his fear of men, he will not be placed in a home with children. He would be a great home for a home with a single or multiple women only.
MATT - Boxer/Mastiff, male, 1 year. Matt is a wonderful boy look for his forever family. He is great with people and other dogs. He is fine with older children, but a bit too much a young, active boy to be placed with toddlers. He appears to be too interested in cats to be comfortably placed with them.
MONTY - Plotthound, male, 1 year. A big boy who is great with people, other dogs and children- though due to his size we would likely not place with young children. However he is not good with cats.
MR. MONK - Boxer/Blue Heeler, male, 8 months. Mr. Monk is easy going, housebroken and sleeps all night in his crate. He gets along with people and other dogs. He is fine with cats, if they are dog savvy, as he likes to play with them. While he has not been tested with children, it is likely he would be fine with older ones.
NELLIE - Beagle, 10 years, female. Nellie is a sweet, friendly happy dog. She is good with other dogs but loves nothing more than
sitting with her people. She isn't overly vocal but does get excited and bay at you when you come home. She would be happy in a family or as someone’s only companion. She does sometimes have accidents inside and her foster family is working on this by crating her and reinforcing taking her out often. She is really a joyful little dog who loves everyone she meets! Children and cats are unknown at this time
ZENA - Black Lab mix, 2 years old. Zena is an all around fun loving dog- loveable and trusting. She absolutely loves to frolic in the yard with her foster brothers and sisters. She gets along great with other dogs and cats in the home and does not need to be crated. She has had some exposure to children and is gentle with them. She is extremely smart and learns very quickly. She does need some leash training; given her responsiveness to teaching thus far it should not take long for this sweet doll to learn her leash manners. If you are looking for your next family dog, Zena is your girl. With her age and her love of being outdoors we would recommend a fenced yard for her to stroll and frolic.
