Pet personality / Story of adoption / Why is your pet special?
Peppy is curious, clever, dependable and shows courage. He is a loyal friend who enjoys riding in a golf cart. He is playful and peppy 90% of the time but occasionally he shows us a stubborn streak. Peppy likes chasing whatever he finds in the yard, and we think that is the dachshund breed history being bred to scent and flush out badgers and other burrow-dwelling animals hunting smaller prey like rabbits.
