Meet Pepper, a 9-year-old Tree Walker Coonhound mix whose whole world changed when the person he had loved and trusted for nine years passed away.

For nine years, Pepper was someone’s dog. He knew his person. He knew his home. He knew where he belonged.

He knows his commands and will even sit pretty for a treat. And like any true hound, he believes every blade of grass deserves a thorough investigation. 🐾👃

But what Pepper really wants is so much simpler.

He wants a soft place to lay his old hound bones.
He wants to sniff in a yard again.
He wants to be someone’s dog again.
He wants a person to love him—and to know that he is loved.

He doesn't like to be crated or too fond of a leash. Experience with the breed would be useful.

Maybe Pepper doesn't have ten years ahead of him. Maybe he has fewer. But shouldn't the years he does have be filled with comfort, security, love, and a family of his own?

If you ever loved a dog who waited for you at the door… please love Pepper. ❤️

Give this sweet senior boy the peaceful place he deserves. Let him spend his golden years knowing once again that he belongs to someone.
