Story
Pepper is currently fostered in Pittsburgh PA, and his adoption fee/donation is minimal to an approved adopter.
Pepper is an 11 yr old male cocker spaniel, he came to us from a shelter where he was surrendered due to his owner passing away. Pepper is a very sweet and loving dog, he is a smart and loyal companion, he wants to be with his human all the time. He does not do well alone, and he can not be crated because it stresses him out, and he will make himself sick. He has some separation anxiety, and will cry, scratch at doors to get to his person. For this reason, we are looking for a home where someone is home all day, a retired person or couple that is just wanting a companion dog.
Pepper gets along well with other dogs, and is completely housetrained. He can be very “vocal” and will bark when he wants something, such as to go outside, to potty, to eat, get a treat, or just wants to be with you on the couch. He sleeps in bed with his foster at night, and is very good with going right to sleep. Pepper does have some medical conditions, he has an old ACL tear injury, and a grade 4 heart murmur, as well as some flaky dry skin. He is not a candidate for ACL repair surgery, however his recent bloodwork showed him as being in the NORMAL range on all functions of the body. As far as his bloodwork, and his peppy/spunky personality, he appears younger than what he is, and the Vet thinks he could easily have more good years.
Pepper is neutered, current on vaccines, had a recent dental cleaning, and is heartworm negative.
