Trial Placement

is how every Peppertree adoption starts, so the dog and family can make sure that they’re a good fit for each other. The following dogs are currently on their trial placement and we are not accepting new applications for them at this time.

• Shepherd mix,
• female,
• 8-10 months,
• 42 lbs.

Chalupa is a classic shepherd soul looking for someone who wants a true companion. She may be a mix, but her personality is all shepherd — smart, curious, and happiest when she’s included in everything. Chalupa enjoys walks, chasing a ball, and especially romping in the snow. She likes mental stimulation and enjoys working and training. She loves running around the yard and would really enjoy having another young dog to romp with.

• Miniature Pinscher mix,
• male,
• 1 year,
• 14 lbs.

If we had to sum up Churro’s motto in one sentence, it would be — play hard, snuggle harder.  This snack-sized pup is always game for a walk or — his favorite — chasing his foster siblings around the yard.  Snow?  No problem!  Give him a sweater and Churro readily keeps up with much larger dogs even in chilly temperatures.  He loves chasing and carrying around a ball, but hasn’t learned to bring it back for fetch just yet.  He’s all puppy in attitude!

Hayes is a happy, affectionate boy who truly loves his people. He’s happiest when he can sit right next to you on the couch — preferably touching. He forms close bonds and enjoys being near his humans as much as possible. He greets visitors with friendly enthusiasm and may jump up in excitement while saying hello. Learn More >

• Chocolate lab mix,
• female,
• 12 years,
• 68 lbs.

Meet Nika… an elegant and delightfully seasoned chocolate Lab with a warm heart. Nika makes time for sunshine on her face, watching squirrels go about their very important business, and enjoying relaxing walks or leisurely strolls around the yard. Her nose works overtime because she is fully committed to sniffing all the sniffs. And when it comes to the finer things? Nika absolutely excels at snacks and naps.

Meet Sunflower! Don’t let her age fool you – this little miss still has plenty of spunk! Sunflower is playful, affectionate and wonderfully silly. When she’s feeling extra happy she’ll surprise you with her zoomies and happy tappies (as her foster mom likes to call them.) Learn More >
