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.
-
CHIP - Plotthound Mix, male, 7 Years. Being evaluated in a foster home for separation anxiety.
CINDER - Black Lab Mix, female, 2 years. Cinder is a beautiful 45 pound girl with a shiny, soft coat. She is spayed and is up-to-date on all vaccinations. She was treated for heartworms in June, and will need to be kept quiet until the heartworm treatment is complete in August. She is social and likes to interact with all, although she is a very bouncy girl, and is oblivious to polite doggy interactions. She is being housetrained and is doing well with it. In a prior foster home, she lived with 8 cats and though she seemed interested in playing with them, she did back off when they wanted her to leave them alone. She is learning what "no" means, and how to sit for a treat. She enjoys playing with a Kong toy and chewing a rawhide. Cinder is also learning to walk on a leash, which she has apparently never been taught. She is very interested in all the world has to offer and would like to plan her course herself rather than go along where you have in mind for her to go! She does seem to be a smart girl, though, and we expect that she will learn quickly what it means to live in a house and follow the rules. Due to her exuberance and cluelessness about manners, she would be better off in a house with older children only, as she would likely bowl young ones over before lavishing them with kisses!
DIPSY/DAISY - Black Lab Mix, female, 10 years. When you meet Dipsy, you would not guess she is 10yrs old. She is a sweet girl with a very playful Labby personality. She loves her food, her people, her toys, chasing balls and bugs, and she also loves her bed! With perfect house manners she is an easy keeper. She has lived with cats so that is no issue. She is fine with visiting children but due to her age we would not recommend placing her with young ones. A home with no other dogs or one very laid back one might be best for her and care with introductions if other canines visit.
GRAHAM - Basset Mix, male, 3 years. Graham just arrived at Peppertree from Georgia. He has a wonderful personality - very happy and loving. He likes to play with other dogs but is not in-your-face with them. He enjoys squeaky toys and chew bones, and is beginning to fetch balls. He is a great walking companion, and is a quiet passenger in the car. He is good with cats and does ok with children. His house and leash manners are very good. He seems smart and is eager to please, and he will be a wonderful companion.
MYA - Boxer/Hound Mix, female, 8-9 months. Imagine a Boxer on tall hound legs and you have Mya. She is a very friendly girl who is great with people and other dogs. We do not know how she is with young children or cats.
NUTMEG - Boxer Mix, female, 3 years, Nutmeg is a lovely girl who appears to love all people- even young children. She is great with other dogs though she rather be with people. She has had an untreated ear infection but she is getting treatment for the ear and Peppertree is covering the cost until it is cleared up. She has not been tested with cats.
RAMBO - Jack Russell Terrier/Chi Mix, male, approximately 5 months. Just entered program and being evaluated in a foster home.
ROOFUS - Basset Mix, male, 5 years. Roofus is a serious cuddler, and all-around lovebug. He does not understand the concept of personal space (with dogs or people) and enjoys nothing more than leaning into you or even lying on top of you. In addition to his warm disposition, he also has a unique look that combines the long body of a bassett with the face of a bernese mountain dog. His paws are huge, and his coat is very soft. He is very good in the house (not at all destructive), is housetrained, and knows basic commands (like sit and no). On a leash, Roofus is well-behaved (not much of a puller) and interested in exploring the world around him. Roofus is good with cats but if you raise poultry they might need little suits of armor. He has been known to commit fricassee. Roofus is heartworm positive but has finished all his treatments. Due to this, until November he can only be leash-walked and should be kept somewhat quiet. Roofus would prefer to be more active but is handling this limitation well. While Roofus would prefer to go to a home with another dog, he would be fine on his own as well. Roofus is a wonderful boy who will make someone a great companion.
THUNDER - Hound/Rottie, male, 10 years. Thunder is a wonderful companion who acts much younger than his age. He is a very sweet, calm boy who is content to just lay around near his people and get belly rubs. He is tolerant of children as long as they are gentle and kind. He knows basic commands and absolutely loves walks. He enjoys a few tosses of the tennis ball but is done soon after the game starts since he has mild arthritis. He takes buffered aspirin with his meals to relieve his aches, and has lost a few pounds which relieves some of his pain. Thunder likes to chase cats and would not be placed with them. He would be happy to be an only dog but he co-exists with most other dogs. Thunder is a low-maintenance, undemanding dog who is happiest as a homebody.
