Black Labrador Retriever and Pit Bull Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption

Pepper came to us after being found in a Northern Mississippi Animal Shelter. She was pregnant and ready to give birth. A wonderful foster pulled her out of the shelter and Pepper had her puppies at a foster home. Pepper was a great momma and all her puppies were adopted.

Pepper is a beautiful 2-year-old mixed breed girl (Pit Bull Terrier/Labrador Retriever) with a sweet soul and a whole lot of love to give. She is housebroken and has been living peacefully with four other dogs in her foster home, making her a great candidate for a multi-dog household.

Pepper is curious by nature and has shown interest in cats, but she has never shown aggression toward them. Because of her curiosity and energy level, a cat-free home or a home experienced with managing dog-cat introductions would be best.

This sweet girl is truly kind-hearted and gentle with no aggressive tendencies. She does, however, have a lot of strength and enthusiasm. She’s the kind of dog who will benefit greatly from continued leash training as she can currently take the lead on walks.

Pepper has not had formal training yet. Unfortunately, her heartworm treatment required her activity to be restricted, which made consistent training difficult. Once she completes treatment and is cleared for regular activity, she will be ready to learn and thrive with structure, patience, and positive reinforcement.

Pepper would do best in a home committed to helping her grow into the amazing companion she’s meant to be. With guidance, exercise, and love, she’ll make a loyal and devoted best friend.

Adoption fee is $350
