an older dog! Pepper is such a sweetie and is approximately 2
years old. She gets along so well with other dogs and
people; a very gentle lady. What a great family dog she will
be for someone. We think she’s a German pointer mix; and weighs
55 pounds. Call the Marshall County Humane Society at 662-564-2900 for
an appointment. See Petfinder.com for a complete list of our animals
