The Essence of Pepper

Watch Pepper’s Video

Pepper’s perfect companion is salt. Salt is a mineral and is a vital source of life; it is sometimes referred to as the essence of life itself, and black pepper is the warmth, known for versatility and compatibility.  They are always placed together on the table side-by-side, to be used in a complimentary way to add flavour to every dish. They have become known as the soulmates of cuisine which is what our girl Pepper has been searching for in her perfect companion – a soulmate.

Pepper was brought into the Cochrane & Area Humane Society (CAHS) after having lived on her own her whole life and fending for herself in a rural environment. She was fearful of humans due to a lack of interaction and her survival skills were used to their fullest each and every day as she persevered to beat the elements and the odds.

The CAHS has spent almost two years integrating Pepper into the “human world” and what a journey it has been!  She has changed many of our lives as much as we have impacted hers.  

The folks working with Pepper persevered just as Pepper has, and at times it felt impossible. Dedication, love, patience and commitment to Pepper’s well-being have paid off and now she is ready for the next stage of her life.

The next leg of Pepper’s journey includes finding her forever home. She is looking for a soulmate kind of person that will continue her journey to becoming a dog that loves and trusts people. Her ideal person would have a quiet, adult only home that would have another dog that she enjoys, takes comfort in and will learn good behaviours from.

What would it take to be Pepper’s salt? Patience, dedication and lots of love.

Our knowledgeable behaviour team will work with a potential new home to get Pepper feeling comfortable with them in her existing environment before she goes to their new home. We will provide continued support and expertise to Pepper and her people in the months following to help set everyone up for success.

The intrinsic quality of dogs is loyalty, and like salt and pepper, loyalty and love go hand-in-hand; each one’s qualities making the other complete.

When love leads with patience and perseverance, loyalty follows.

If you are seeking your perfect soulmate – or perhaps a best friend who is one of many mates of your soul, let it begin with knowing and becoming your own essence.  From there, finding a perfect and complementary companion is sure to transpire.
