MR. PEPPER - SO CA - TERRIER / DACHSHUND / MIXED (LONG COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Terrier / Dachshund / Mixed (long coat). Mr. Pepper is a gentle little soul with a big heart. 3 years old, and only 11 pounds. Once he feels safe, he becomes the ultimate lap dog — his favorite place in the world is curled up on your lap soaking up pets and snuggles. He’s started to discover the joy of toys, but what he truly loves most is simply being close to his person. Outside the home, Mr. Pepper is very timid and easily startled by new people, loud noises, and other dogs. Because of this, he’s looking for a quiet, calm home with no children and ideally someone who is home most of the day. He may do well with another gentle, calm dog, but he would also be happy as your one and only. Mr Pepper is house trained but gets nervous about going outside. He’s currently working on potty pad training for times when going outdoors feels too overwhelming. He can be a submissive pee-er when nervous, especially if visitors come over, and he takes daily fluoxetine to help with his anxiety. This is not an on-the-go, café, or hiking buddy — Mr. Pepper is happiest being a cozy homebody. A fenced yard would be wonderful to help him feel secure during potty breaks, and his ideal person will be patient, loving, and happy to give him the slow, steady reassurance he needs to blossom. If you’re looking for a quiet, snuggly companion who just wants to love and be loved, Mr. Pepper might be the perfect little friend for you.
