11/10/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: At around 7 years old, Peppy’s puppy days are over–now he’s got plenty of mature love to go around! Peppy stays very quiet in his cage and watches me closely as I approach, not sure if it he should come forward until he’s sure I’m taking him out for a walk. But as soon as he seems me getting ready to open the door, he runs up to the front of the cage, tail wagging a million miles a minute. This sweet, gentle boy seems to be housetrained, walks well on a leash, and has just a teeny touch of pretty gray on his brindle face– a truly esteemed gentleman. When I dropped Peppy back off in his cage after our walk today, he was so grateful for the chance to go outside that he jumped up and gave me a big goodbye kiss on the nose. Could you be the one to take Peppy home with you? Please come see him today!
