Jalapeño

Jalapeño, here! While my name sounds spicy, I’m all sweetness in a small package. My GPRA friends say I’m on the smaller side for a pyr. When meeting new people, I’m a little shy, but just like jalapeños make you feel warm inside, I warm up to my humans quickly. Foster Mom says I’m good with people and kids. Besides snuggling them close, another way I show my family that I love them is by being housetrained. I haven’t had an accident yet, and I’m learning how to use the doggy door. I know jalapeños have to be transported in trucks to the grocery store, and just like my pepper namesake, I’m a good car rider too! It’s a fun way to get to know my new human friends. As a young pyr girl, I also enjoy playing outside. Jalapeños grow out in the garden, after all! While jalapeños don’t grow over fences, this Jalapeño can reach up to the counter. I do counter surf sometimes, but I’m a puppy and can be definitely trained through positive reinforcement only, meaning praise and treats, to stop this behavior. My favorite activity is playing with my chew toys and doggy toys. I just love them! I’ve heard jalapeños grow well with all kinds of other plants just like I do well with other dogs. It’s because I’m so friendly and playful! Jalapeños also go well with a lot of different dishes, and I get along with female dogs, male dogs, and small dogs alike. Foster Mama thinks I’d even be okay with cats because I ignore them on our walks. I’m all  peppered up to meet my new family who will love me and help me grow. Consider adopting me today!
