Pepper is a very sweet Min-Pin girl who is looking for a special person, couple or family who will love her forever.  She has had a rough past few months, so she is ready to exhale, feel loved once again, and put “roots” down in a permanent home. 

Pepper sort of “drew the short straw”, vision-wise.  She is a young adult dog (born 10/01/07), but was diagnosed with glaucoma in her left eye.  She rapidly went blind in that eye, and due to the discomfort of chronic dryness, the left eye was recently removed at the vet’s recommendation.

 The vet suspects glaucoma in Pepper’s right eye, although that eye is responding, at this time, to two daily eye drop prescriptions.   Unfortunately glaucoma is usually not considered a curable disease and it’s possible, within two years or so, she will lose sight in her right eye also.  (For more information about Pepper’s condition, long-term prognosis and eye drops, please contact .)

                                                                                                       
Pepper, originally rescued from a shelter, was relinquished to Frisco Humane Society by her family of 18 months because they felt a blind dog wouldn’t fit into their lifestyle.  After losing sight in her left eye, then losing the family she adored, followed by weathering surgery (and having to sport a dignity-robbing “lamp shade” around her head, post-surgery), you’d think Pepper would be left a bit rattled, to say the least.  Quite the contrary, Pepper is yet another example of how amazingly resilient dogs are.  Her delightful personality is still firmly intact.

Pepper is a pint-sized 13 lbs.  She is crate-trained, house-trained, sleeps soundly through the night without a peep and thrives on attention from her person or family.  Pepper gets along well with other dogs, but tends to want to hog the attention, so she’d likely be perfectly content as an only pet, as well.

We’re looking for that very special person, couple or family who Pepper will be the perfect fit for – just the way she is.  While she may not seem “perfect” to everyone, we know she is absolutely perfect for that special, compassionate adopter.  If you would like to give Pepper a loving, forever home, we invite you to submit an adoption application!

JACK NEEDS YOUR HELP… Our adorable pup, Jack, came to Frisco Humane Society with an injured front leg. The injury (a compound fracture) took place a few months ago and, unfortunately, healed improperly.  X-rays showed one half of one of the lower leg bones (the ulna) was completely missing.  Also, all of the tendons and ligaments were either torn away or cut out.  Thus, with so little to work with, it made reconstruction very difficult and subject to failure.  The leg is bent, dangling loose, vulnerable to further injury and nearly impossible for him to use.

Seeking the best possible outcome for Jack (a pain-free future with optimum mobility) we consulted Jack’s veterinarian, as well as an orthopedic surgeon. After examinations were conducted and x-rays examined, both doctors concluded that removing the injured leg would provide Jack with the best possible outcome.  While not an easy decision to make, Jack’s health and well being are of utmost importance, so we are moving forward with the doctors’ recommendation.

This little 18 month old, 6 lb Chihuahua was rescued from a shelter on June 6th.  She had been left at the shelter by her owners because their other dog (also left at shelter) had bitten her and damaged her eye - they didn't want to pay for vet expenses. 

The bite occurred about 30 days ago which means she had to have been in great pain for about a month.  At the time of rescue her eye was severely infected and after taking one look at her, our wonderful vet at East Dallas Surgical Center stayed late on Saturday afternoon to perform the surgery to remove the eye.

Winkie's foster mom says that despite horrible pain she's the sweetest little dog imagineable .. when she met Winkie for the first time at the shelter, she picked her up to soothe her (holding her breath because of the awful smell coming from the eye), and the little dog just hugged her and wouldn't let go.

Please consider making a donation towards Winkie's surgery - we have had several high-cost surgeries this month and we are grateful for all donations (tax deductable).

100% of your donations go towards our vet bills.   You can donate by via PayPal by clicking on the Donate Button at the left-hand side of this page.

Winkie will be available for adoption when she has recovered from her surgery.
