Meet Pepper (FL)

Pepper is a charming, affectionate, chihuahua mix -- approximately 6 years-old and weighing about 10 lbs. This poor little girl was picked up as a stray in Charlotte, NC with a broken leg. She was fortunate enough to be rescued by New Rattitude and transferred to a foster in Florida. Pepper went through surgery and six weeks of healing with no running, jumping or playing. She was such a trooper and so very tolerant of her restrictions although she wanted to be playing with the other two dogs in the house. Finally, she has gotten the "all clear" to return to normal activities and fun!Pepper is very energetic and playful but she is also a champion snuggler and will spend hours on the sofa next to you. Pepper loves to give kisses and would prefer a wonderful companion who is around most of the time. She gets along well with the male dog in our house, but there have been a couple of tiffs with the female dog over food.Pepper loves walks and is still perfecting her leash manners. She doesn't enjoy car rides and prefers to be in a crate when traveling. Overall, Pepper has great house manners and never chews on anything besides her toys and bones. She doesn't try to escape out the doors or over gates. Pepper is a little shadow, following her mom everywhere in the house. She's mostly house-trained. She is crate trained and sleeps though the night in her crate. She's not a digger or climber in the yard, but she does enjoy chasing lizards and squirrels and would love to have a fenced area for exploration and play! Thankfully Pepper's leg has totally healed and she doesn't seem to have any other health issues. She is truly the sweetest little girl and she's ready to find her perfect home.
