Your Pet's Rescue StoryHi! My name is Pepper and I've had a lot of adventure in my 12-week-old life! My doggy mom had me and my 10 brothers and sisters on a landscape island in an industrial park in Miami. She was a rock star but there wasn't very much there for her to help take care of us all. Thankfully, we were rescued by a very nice lady when we were just a few days old (my eyes were still shut so I couldn't actually see her). Once we were off the street, we needed a more permanent place to stay and BOY, did we get lucky! Through the Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando, we found ourselves a new Bed & Breakfast in Orlando (my new mom called it a foster home) where I was able to stay with my mom and all my brothers and sisters. We were treated like royalty and very well cared for. Even as the runt, our caretakers helped feed me when my brothers and sisters pushed me off of my mom at feeding time so that I could keep growing on schedule. After about 7 weeks there, I got some very special visitors. I showed them how awesome I was and, after meeting me, they decided to take me home and become my forever family. Waiting those 5 days until I could get fixed were some of the longest days of my life - but SO worth it! I now have my mommy, daddy, 2 human brothers, 3 kitty brothers, and my new best friend, Gypsy, my doggy big sister! This is the life!
