Lori’s Corner: Pepper, a dog that touched my heart

If there were ever a dog that I was tempted to keep even though she is so adoptable, it would be Pepper. From the moment I laid eyes on her, I knew, she needed to get out of her horrible situation.


Her story is that she was attacked by an aggressive dog and he tore part of her leg off. The person did not take her to a vet and the leg healed on its own, without any professional veterinarian care. I can only imagine the severe pain that this sweet dog endure and yet she still loves other dogs, plays really well on her three good legs and is learning to trust people. Who could blame her, consider, it was a person’s fault that she lost her leg due to carelessness and being overwhelmed with too many dogs on one property.


I have to admit, when I watch her play, really running hard, enjoying herself with all of her new friends, Sasha, Edwina, Charlie and Bruno, I get tears in my eyes. She is a dog that makes me want to do more for all of the other “Peppers” that are out there that need help. South Los Angeles, Watts and Compton are full of stray dogs and dogs that have been injured in dog fights, hit by cars and just plain neglect.


If you can’t adopt one of our dogs, please consider sponsoring a dog in need. Pepper is ready for her forever home, please spread the word about this wonderful dog!
