Meet Pepper

Pepper is described as a 9-year-old Bichon/Poodle mix who is looking for a lap to sit on and a bed to snore in. Humane Society of Portage County lists Pepper as a male in Plover, Wisconsin. The listing text says Bichon/Poodle mix, while the structured breed field gives a different breed, so please confirm Pepper's breed with Humane Society of Portage County.

Pepper is on a special urinary diet. Without his food, he is prone to UTIs, and as long as he is on his special food, he is UTI free. He also takes a medication to help with his anxiety. He can be nervous, and he enjoys wearing his thunder jacket to keep him feeling secure. Pepper will come with all of his "safety blanket" items. He is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative.

Pepper's only home requirement is love and affection, and he isn't picky as long as someone is around to lavish him with attention. He is not used to shelter life and would rather be in a home with a family. He seems to do well with low energy dogs and cats, according to the listing. He doesn't seem to mind children, but because he is a little nervous, he may need an older child who knows how to interact with animals.

The listing calls Pepper one of the easiest dogs the writer has ever met. The only thing he wants in life is a home and a person to love. He walks great on a leash, doesn't shed, loves every person he meets and has amazing manners.

Pepper is about 30 pounds, and he is quite the low rider. The listing says he definitely got the poodle length and the bichon height out of the mix. His adoption fee is $100 + tax. If you live in Portage County, a license will be issued at the time of adoption.

To start, please fill out an application for him on the rescue's website at www.hspcwi.org/adopt. To ask about Pepper or start an application, contact Humane Society of Portage County.
