Pepper" a/k/a Jarhead/Pickles is now with us at ARNO. We were told yesterday when we picked her up from her rabies quarantine at St. John that a woman had come forward and she had seen several children corner Pepper and put the jar on her head. Very sad. Pepper is past the age of socialization but of course we know at ARNO that those rules are breakable and we WILL break that rule with Pepper. She is very frightened but when I brought one of our black lab pups in her run to test her reaction, she was naturally inquisitive but not overly so because all her brothers and sisters died when she was young, she has survived on her own. But, after touching noses with the pup she did allow me to scratch under her chin so we'll take that as our first step toward trust
