Pepper

Pepper is almost 3 years old and has border collie, blue heeler, poodle and golden retriever parentage. We are unfortunately not able to provide as much stimulation and attention to her that she needs as our family grows in size and schedules become extremely busy. She needs a loving owner or family who can devote time and attention to her and more stimulation and activity than we can currently provide. She is sweet and has been very gentle with our small children and she does well with other dogs. She definitely needs plenty of space to be able to roam free safely as she likes to escape from our fenced yard and explore the neighborhood. She would make a great companion for someone who could give her enough time, space, and attention as she is very smart and energetic.
