Meet PEPE LE PEW, our charming and I-promise-doesn't-stink pet of the week available for adoption at It Takes a Village.

Let's first discuss the elephant (or skunk) in the room - his name. He's named PEPE LE PEW, not because he stinks or looks like a skunk, but because he was sprayed by one shortly before being picked up as a stray in Spencer County.

PEPE LE PEW is a 3-year-old Husky with beautiful salt and pepper fur. The folks at It Takes a Village say he is known for being talkative - like many Huskies, PEPE loves to express himself and keep his humans entertained with his vocal antics.

To ensure a perfect match, PEPE requires an on-site meet and greet with other dogs. We're not sure about his compatibility with cats and kids, so it wouldn't hurt to introduce them beforehand, too.

If you're looking for a loyal and engaging companion who will always keep you company with his lively chatter, PEPE LE PEW is the perfect dog for you. Apply to adopt this handsome Husky at ITVrescue.org and give him the loving home he deserves!
