Pepper - Wirehaired Terrier and Jack Russell Terrier Dog for Adoption in Naperville, Illinois

Pepper is a 10-year-old Terrier mix who came to us as a stray. Since then, he’s been neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and checked out as a healthy boy. Now, this sweet senior is ready for the most important chapter of his life: finding a loving home to spend his golden years in.

Pepper is the ultimate cuddle bug! His favorite place to be is right by your side, soaking up all the love and affection he can get. He’s a laid-back little guy who would happily sleep the day away if you let him!

Pepper would do best in a home with someone who is around most of the day, whether that’s someone who works from home or a retiree. He simply loves having his person nearby.

Pepper loves hopping into laundry baskets for a cozy snooze, and when it’s time to settle in for the night, you’ll find him curled up in his big dog bed surrounded by blankets and pillows. He knows how to make himself comfortable!

Pepper’s vision isn’t the best, so he needs a little extra help navigating stairs. He also has the cutest little bark that he uses to let you know when he wants to go outside or come back in. Other than that, he’s as quiet as a mouse!

Pepper isn’t asking for much. Just a soft place to land, a cozy bed, a loving human, and all the cuddles his heart desires.

Senior dogs have so much love left to give, and Pepper is ready to share his with someone special. He deserves a home where he can spend his golden years feeling safe, loved, and cherished.
