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.
ANNIE - Hound/ Shepherd/Husky ?? Mix, female, 6 months. Annie is a sweet 40-pound puppy who loves getting petted and going for walks. She likes to play hard, and she winds down nicely for naps and sleeps well at night. She is spayed, housetrained, and crate-trained. She knows basic obedience commands and would benefit from continued training. She needs a doggy playmate and owners with dog experience to keep her exuberance in check. Although Annie likes children, we suggest that she would do best in a home with no children under 6 years old.
BUBBA - Hound Mix, male, 3 months. Bubba is a friendly, easy-going, and self-confident "Little Man" who is quite comfortable in his foster home with larger dogs, two cats, and a toddler. He is smart and a quick learner; at 3 months old, he is already cratetrained and nearly housetrained. He knows a few commands. He is still a pup, so chewing and nipping are favorite games, but he can be distracted with toys. Bubba is a sweet boy who can not wait to find a permanent home.
GRANT - Black Lab Mix, male, 1 year. Just entered program & being evaluated.
GRETCHEN - German Shepherd, female, 3-4 years. Gretchen currently weighs about 65 lbs and is a bit on the thin side. She came to Peppertree Rescue from an out-of-state shelter. She is currently HW+, so Peppertree will take care of her treatment. While she is undergoing her treatment, Gretchen will need to be kept on a restricted activity level for a period of two-three months to prevent any complications with her treatment while the medicine is ridding her body of the heartworms. According to her foster Mom in South Carolina, Gretchen is a very sweet, loving, and obedient dog though she can be initially fearful in new situations. While she did along with other dogs in her foster home, she is aggressive to other dogs while on a leash. She will need a savvy foster home to work with her in overcoming this behavior. Due to this behavior we will not place her in a home with young children. How she is with cats is unknown. Gretchen will not be at any clinics. If interested in Gretchen, we will require an Application to Adopt. If after our review of the application, we feel that a potential match might be made, we will arrange an off-clinic meeting with Gretchen.
JEREMEY - Golden Retriever Mix, male, 5 years. Just entered program and being evaluated in a foster home.
JEWEL - Boxer Mix, female, 1 year. Jewel is a sweet girl who wants to play with everyone and everything. She is a bit too interested in cats, so she should not be placed in a home with them. While she desperately wants to play, her excitement may scare off other, more mellow dogs. Therefore, she would do best as an only dog, or with a very strong dominant dog. She is great with older kids (8 and up), and is slowly learning that she cannot jump up on everything and everyone she meets. She is still learning the finer points of being housebroken, crates well, and needs to put on a few pounds. When she settles in, she is very sweet and gentle, and will rest her head in your lap as you read.
KUPER - Lab mix, male, 4 months. Kuper is a confident, intelligent puppy who loves to snuggle. He loves to play with the other dogs but is also able to entertain himself with some rope toys or tennis balls. He already understands the command “sit” – and will look up at you asking, “what next”? To continue to develop Kuper’s amazing personality and to continue to challenge him, it is highly recommended that he attend some type of training class. Although he likes to cuddle on the couch, if something is happening in another area of the house, Kuper runs towards the action. Cats are unknown.
SOPHIA - Pitbull Mix, female, 1 ˝ years. Sophia was found as a stray in the streets of NYC. She is a lovely girl who is good with people and other dogs, although how she is with young children is unknown. She seems too interested in cats to be placed with them. She also is very leggy for a pit bull- we suspect there may be some pointer or retriever in her. One of the shelter volunteers wrote about her: "She is heart-achingly beautiful, with huge soulful eyes that she frequently uses to look up at her walker with in hopes of approval..." Sophia is fine tuning her house manners and her leash walking skills so that she will make a perfect companion.
TRUMBO - Golden Retriever, male, 8-10 years old. Looking for Treasure? Meet Trumbo, 24K Old Gold! He will keep you smiling. Unbelievably he was found locally as a stray so nothing is known about his background but he has a wonderful temperament. Perfect house manners. Easy walker, easy keeper. Gets along with all, loves to be around people and goes with the flow. Because of his extreme deafness and very sound sleep a home without resident small children is advised. He is good with hand signals, and his needs are few. He has a good appetite, enjoys a good bed, a few toys, and is looking for someone to cherish him, toss a few balls now and then and go on moderate walks with him.
