We adopted Pepper a little over a year ago, he is a part of our family and puts a smile on our faces everyday. He is a very loving, energetic 20-month- old puppy. We have an 12-year- old Irish Setter and Pepper is really helping keeping him going.  He has bad hips and since we have had Pepper he is doing very well, because Pepper has made him more active which has helped with his arthritis. He is a 70 pound teddy bear…….he loves to be close to someone at all times, he thinks he is a lap dog :O) I had to share because I’m sure there are staff members at shelter who were wondering about Pepper, he seemed to have stole many of their hearts as he has our family.
