All about Pepper
Animal ID: 2000454386

Pepper is a 5 years, 2 months old female Shepherd who weighs 68 pounds.

**Pepper is a Patient Paw, please ask about their reduced adoption fee and the possibility of a sleepover!**

Meet Pepper! A gorgeous German Shepherd who absolutely LOVES her ball and some good treats! This playful, energetic girl already knows how to sit, lie down, and shake a paw, and she's eager to keep learning. Pepper has shown some reactivity behind a barrier and can be a little hesitant when meeting new people or when things get busy. With a slow and thoughtful introduction (and lots of treat bribery), Pepper begins to warm up and show her friendly self. She's still learning to make friends, and when Pepper has had enough, she will let you know! She's also not a fan of hands at first and takes some time to warm up to pets, but she's always happy to go on a nice walk (she's working on not pulling when she sees a big, fun dog park in the distance!) where she loves to take in her surroundings and explore. Pepper is a very environmentally focused girl who's always interested in what's happening around her!

Pepper is a very intelligent working breed who would thrive in an active home that can keep both her mind and body busy with plenty of exercise, training, and fun jobs to do. A home with an acreage or lots of space to explore could be a wonderful fit for Pepper, giving her plenty of room to stretch her legs, take in her surroundings, and put her busy mind to work! She can also be quite wary of new people and situations, so a family that can read canine body language would be best!

A bit about Pepper:
- No kids. 16+ who can read dog body language required.
- Has lived with another dog with a negative experience; potential for a respectful, similar-sized dog pending successful introduction
