While it might look like your run-of-the-mill, typical Tongue Out Tuesday post with an adorable adoptable baby, it is actually a study in the grand philosophical causality dilemma, with an adorable, adoptable baby posing the question of what came first: a shy shelter puppy baby who has finally gained enough confidence to start barking at or even giving a little chase to the cats here, or a little yappy, cat corraller who is finally starting to feel like himself again after a month of learning to find his place at the shelter? Once found as a stray making his way on the streets, it's anyone's guess what his past held and where his feline loyalties lie, so you'll just have to come and meet him and give us your observations because we're still trying to figure out this guy! What we do know, however, is that Pepperoncini (Pepper) loves humans (seemingly of all ages, but can be a bit in your face with his affection, which can be overwhelming for younger kids!), is a lap dog and an excellent snuggler, can be very chill or unbridled with energy on any given day, and loves the fellow canines he meets, though most we've encountered are pretty close to his size. He seems to like most cats, but again, our query remains. He is a predominantly a Chihuahua/Wire Haired Terrier mix, likely 1-2 years old, with amazing jumping abilities and circus dog potential. He listens pretty well and is making great strides in the housebreaking department and has come a long way, but it is still something he's working on. While we may never know the truth of his cat quandary, we know that Pepper's people are out there and they are probably willing to take on any unknown when getting to see that face every day.
