Susan J. Eischeid | Submitted PhotoMeet Pepper, a wonderful adult black lab, about 4 years old. Pepper is just about perfect. She is super smart, already housebroken, knows how to sit, takes treats gently and is already spayed so can go home today. Pepper is not a flashy dog but she will make a stunning addition to some lucky family.
