My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Paradise is here to wrap up Tongue Out Tuesday. This pretty brindle girl is about 3 years old and she has been waiting very patiently for someone to come adopt her. She was surrendered due to no fault of her own and lived with another dog in her prior home. She is a sweet, loving girl and she is ready to start a new life with you!

Dog Day Out notes, 11/3/23:
Paradise is the sweetest dog ever! She will just lay by your side and is a great hugger! She is great with a lot of people around her and was friendly to everyone she encountered. Paradise will make a great companion and has the cutest smile.

Dog Day Out notes, 9/2/23: When I arrived at BAS Saturday for dog day out, the staff had picked Paradise for me as a great dog to take out for the day, citing that she loved to hug and was a lot of fun. They were absolutely right, Paradise has a LOT of love to give and isn`t bashful about showing her affection. She likes to sit close on car rides once she gets her fill of wind in her ears. Wasn`t afraid to put her torso in the breeze, either! She did great on the leash and loved exploring and smelling all the trails at Davidson Park. Paradise is sure to make some lucky adopter very happy. Never barked, never lunged other than at one squirrel, just an overall sweetheart. I was also impressed at how well she would listen when we had a short visit at my house. We only encountered a few other dogs on the trail and Paradise was not fazed by them, just kept to her business of walking and sniffing.

Dog Day Out notes, 8/19/23: I took Paradise to Great Bend Park and on the Glencoe section of the Haw River Trail. Paradise was a lot of fun! She was excited to be on the trails! She pulls mostly because I was not fast enough for her so she would probably be a great running buddy. She was very good at staying on trail and we let her get in the river a few times along the way so she could cool off. She loved the water! The more time we spent with her she started to slow down to my usual pace and when I stopped to let my friend catch up to us Paradise nicely waited with me while looking at me to see when I’d say - okay let’s go! She would do these cute gallops when she started going again. She wanted to meet everyone she saw and loves to give hugs. She would sit for treats and is food motivated which would probably help with any training. She has such soft fur. Paradise has so much exuberance being outside it made me happy to see her enjoying herself. She
