About Pepper
Pepper is your typical Shih Tzu so thinks the whole world revolves around him! He is a sweet boy who has been the only pet of an older man who is now in a nursing home and unable to care for him. Pepper is fine around other dogs but does really like his own space so a home with a very easy going small dog (or even no other dogs) where he can get all of the attention would suit him best. Pepper is no lightweight and, weighing in at just over 8kg, is a very heavy little boy so consideration should be given as to whether you can lift this weight as he will certainly be too heavy for an elderly person. He also has quite sensitive skin so a good natural diet and regular attention with bathing and grooming is essential. Pepper's sensitive skin has left him very susceptible to bad ear infections so his new owner needs to always be on top of this as they can be very painful if not managed. Pepper can be a little scared or timid initially but warms to people quickly with gentle coaxing and will be a great little companion dog. He is even now picking up toys to play with which is great! Pepper is fully house trained and sleeps really well all night. He is looking for an adult home where he'll be given pats and cuddles, taken out in the car (which he enjoys and where he is well behaved) and for good walks which he loves.
