History: We recently held our annual Out of the Cold Rescue Effort and welcomed back 200+ animals to rescue. This rescue effort helps animals out of the cold, frigid weather of North Dakota and welcomes them to loving foster homes at Coco’s Heart who work towards finding forever homes for these sweet pups.

A Note from the Foster: Hi, I’m Pepper! I may be small, but my heart is huge—and I’ve got plenty of personality to share. I’m an eager learner and a pro at getting treats for all the good stuff I do (and I love treats!). I already know how to sit, come when called, and leave it, and I’m working on mastering even more tricks. I’m also potty pad trained, and I’m super eager to keep learning!

I’m a bit of a chatterbox too! If I need a little water, I’m ready to let you know. Same goes for when it’s time for my meal or if I’m ready to go sniff around outside. Don’t worry—I’m not too talkative, but I do have one big pet peeve... dirty pens! If there’s a little mess in my space, I make sure to tell my foster family right away. Gotta keep things tidy!

I’m a bit of a FOMO (fear of missing out) pup, so I always keep one eye open, just in case something exciting is happening. But honestly, my favorite thing in the world is snuggling with my human foster sisters. I love curling up in the warm spot around their necks, especially when I’m feeling a little nervous. It’s the best!

Life here has been great, but I can’t wait to find my forever family. I’m ready to bring all my love, fun, and cuddles to a home that’s just for me. I’d love for you to be the one to give me my happily ever after. Could we be the perfect match?  Let's meet soon!

Adoption Fee: $750 + tax

Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
