Pepper is 14. Her mama was 88 years old, and she was all Pepper ever knew. The morning after she passed, Pepper and Little Bit were dropped off with us — no records, no warning, just two little dogs whose whole world had ended.
Pepper howled for two nights. Now she sleeps in bed with us. Little Bit, 9, follows Eric everywhere he goes. Pepper is bow-legged, and sometime in her life she wore a diaper — you can still see it in her fur, discolored where the diaper sat.
They've already been to see Dr. Mike at Fieldstone once — full exams, all their vaccinations, and their rabies shots are done — and Dr. Mike did their dental exams at that same visit and gave us the written estimate. That visit was covered exactly by two kind donors. What they still need is dental work: $850 each, $1,700 total. Pepper's skin and fleas were treated on arrival (that's why she was shaved — rehab, not neglect), and she's healing up beautifully.

This is what rescue really looks like. Pepper's skin was in bad shape under all that fur, so we shaved her down to treat and heal it — talking her through it the whole time. Rehab, not neglect: every minute of it was for her.
