Pepita is a Friday afternoon miracle who arrived just in time. When a SNIPSA staff member spotted her at ACS with a painful hind leg, it was clear she couldn’t be left behind. Pepita had apparently been struck by a car and sustained a degloving injury (significant skin loss) to her rear ankle area and a broken foot. She convalesced at the local shelter for almost a month, receiving bandage changes, antibiotics and pain management. Before long, she won the hearts over of her caretakers and was eventually transferred to SNIPSA for further care.

She may have arrived in a hurry, but she has spent every moment since teaching us the beauty of slowing down. Now safe in her foster home, this sweet girl has officially embraced her true calling: the art of the professional nap. While her leg continues to mend, Pepita’s spirit is soaring, proving that a little injury can’t dampen a heart as loyal as hers. She is a medium-sized master of the afternoon siesta, looking for a dedicated partner to join her in a lifetime of synchronized snoring. She loves to prance and explore sniffing out every corner of our office. If you’re looking for a soulful companion who values a soft blanket and a quiet cuddle above all else, Pepita is ready to retire into your arms. Apply to adopt this resilient girl today!
