Pepper Rat Terrier Mix Portland, ME

Pepper is a three year old mixed breed pup who was dumped with her three puppies in rural Mississippi. Pepper is a good girl, all around! She's crate trained, house trained, does great with other dogs, and even does fine with cats!
Pepper is great with people of all ages, and she's food and treat motivated, so she's quick to learn! She weighs right around 40lbs, making her the perfect sized friend!
Pepper was heartworm positive when she was first rescued, but she is now heartworm negative & ready to come North!
We aren't sure about her breed, but I see some rat terrier in her & possibly pointer.
