Shepherd and Labrador Retriever Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet our good boy Pepper. Pepper is UTD on vaccines, heartworm negative and neutered. Pepper was found as a stray and was taken in by the person that found him, but recently released him to us because he couldn't care for him any longer. He is now 2 years old.
Pepper walks well on a leash and is shy at first but will warm up to you quickly. He does well with other dogs and would love a home with a fenced in backyard so he can play and explore. Pepper is ready for his forever home.


Adoption fee: $85.
