Pepper was living in Kuujjuaq, Northern Québec, where veterinary care is not available. She is suffering from painful yeast infections affecting her ears and skin and needed to get to Montréal for immediate care with a veterinary dermatology specialist.
Once Pepper arrived, her foster family started to play an important role in her recovery, providing the daily and weekly care needed to get her skin and ears healthy again.
But Pepper needs more than medical treatment. Life in Kuujjuaq was extremely stressful for a small senior dog. Encounters with large stray dogs and roaming packs made even simple outings frightening. She will remain permanently in Montréal, where she can finally enjoy a safer, calmer life.
Pepper is 11 years old, weighs just 11 pounds, and has always known what it means to belong to someone.
She loves her walks, loves exploring, and absolutely loves an adventure. Put snow on the ground and she’s even happier. She enjoys meeting people along the way, then comes home and happily settles into her favourite role: professional couch cuddler, tucked between your legs while you watch TV.
Pepper is wonderfully easy to live with. She is house-trained, non-destructive and rides well in the car. She is affectionate with people, including respectful children 10 and older, and does well with cats. She can be selective about her canine friends, so a relaxed home where she doesn’t have to navigate a busy pack environment would suit her best.
Pepper is spayed, vaccinated and microchipped.
