🏡💚 Ever heard of Litter Mate Syndrome?

Pepper developed Littermate Syndrome suddenly and aggressively toward her litter brother, who she’d grown up with. It is not uncommon for dogs to develop Littermate Syndrome. When it happens, it is tragic and often requires one to be rehomed to keep them safe. That’s what happened to Pepper. Her humans were devastated but preferred to see her happy in a new home rather than face the imminent alternative.

We knew Pepper would love another fur companion and a human who was around more often than not. So we matched her with Totem and her human.

“Pepper is loving life. She settled in; it took a little while, but she has not left my side in the past year. She has her sister Totem, the German Shepherd. They are with me 24 hours a day—at work, in the car, and sleeping next to me in their beds at night,” said Pepper’s adopter when we caught up for Pepper’s 1 Year Adoption Anniversary – Gotcha Day.
