Meet Our Dogs
We invite you to get to know the special senior dogs that our sanctuary family has rescued and loved over the last several years.
They're the original PSDS crew, and the heart and soul of our sanctuary. They live with our leadership team and at the sanctuary and are quite a collection of lovable characters who keep us on our toes 24/7!
-
Betty White
Betty White is a pug who is approximately 12 years old. She was a stray in Florida and thankfully found her way to Pepper’s. She came in very sick with 3 different respiratory illnesses and was often compared to a loaf of bread.
-
Bounce
Our senior bounce does not act like a senior all the time.
-
Bruce
Our senior Bruce is the best old man ever.
-
Bruno
Bruno is a couch potato of a Puggle and kind of looks like a very cute potato with slightly bulging eyeballs.
-
Bucky
Bucky is at least 14 and thought to most likely be a Chug (Chihuahua and Pug mix) though there are probably a few other breeds thrown in. He is described as a total love.
-
Butch
Butch is a Yorkshire Terrier who was rescued by the National Mill Dog Rescue after being a puppy mill dad his whole life. He lived in a tiny cage for 3,118 days until he was rescued. His birthday is 5/7/15 so that was 8 ½ long years with one job and very minimal contact with humans
-
Chai
Chai is a gorgeous tan chihuahua. She came to us from Boulder Humane and is thought to be around 10. Once she joined the doggie milieu, she fell in love! Bruce is her soul mate.
-
Chonk
Chonk, a pawtastic possibly Puggle mix, is built like a perfect, scrumptious loaf of bread.
-
Faye
Faye is a 12 year old mixed-breed dog. We aren’t sure what breed she is, but we know for a fact that she is 100% adorable!
-
Keysa
Keysa is the key holder for Pepper’s as she is the first official sanctuary resident.
-
Lexie
Lexie is a Treeing Walker Coonhound Mix. Never heard of that breed before?

Lily
Photogenic and impossibly youthful, Lily is always ready to strike a sassy social media pose.

-
Mabel
A mischievous world traveler and former native of the mean streets of Mexico, Mabel sports a sassy gap between her teeth and struts with a melody in her step.
-
Margaret
Margaret is a 9 year old American Eskimo born on 8/28/14. She was rescued by National Mill Dog Rescue after being a breeder mama for 3,259 days. She is an amazing girl who is curious, smart and resilient but her medical issues, especially unmanaged diabetes, caused her to be overlooked and not adopted.
-
Marvin
This merle-coated Chihuahua with a heart of gold may have a heart murmur, but he's an unstoppable, on-the-go heart patient.
-
Montana
Montana or Monty as he is more commonly called, is thought to be a mix of some kind. Our best guess is that he is a Maltipoo (Maltese and Poodle) mixed with who knows what else.
