Papaya is a 3 year old Papillon mix who is looking for her fruit salad forever family! This gorgeous gal landed at the local shelter when her former family was moving and decided not to take her along for the ride. Well, we knew that we couldn’t leave this smiling gal behind so we scooped her up and promised her the best second chance ever. She knows her best is yet to come and so do we! Papaya has a gorgeous coat and fantastic ears that give her sparkling personality an added bonus! We know this gal would be the pick of the farmer’s market, just as she will be the pick of her forever family.
Papaya is a curious, smart, and playful girl who is just as cute as can be! She is very friendly and affectionate and would love a best friend in her forever person. She would be happy following you to the ends of the Earth, and will take on any adventure, as long as she can do it by your side. Papaya adores her toys and tosses her rope toy to herself happily for hours at a time. She loves showing off her ever-expanding list of skills for her impressed foster parents. Papaya has a fabulous mix of playful and chill energy. She’s just as up for a brisk walk as she is for a movie marathon on the couch. What more could you ask for in man’s best friend! Papaya will fit in perfectly in a home that is ready to show her the world! She has such a love for the simple things in life and we know her future looks so bright.
Papaya wakes up at 7 AM and goes outside for a potty trip. After she comes inside for breakfast, she does some zoomies around the house. Throughout the day as her foster parents work, she follows them around the house, checks in on them and gets up to her doggy routines. She loves a good game of fetch, dragging her pile of soft toys around the living room, and zooming around the backyard. She gets dinner at 6 PM and then spends some more time in the yard having fun. In the evening, she relaxes on the couch with her foster family soaking up cuddles and kisses. After one last potty trip, she heads to her dog bed where she tucks herself into bed for the night.
Papaya gets along well with other dogs as long as she has an introduction. Eventually, she can make anyone her friend! She gets along very well with the kids in the foster home. Papaya is working on her leash walking skills and is making great progress. She is crate trained and house trained. Papaya is a curious and fun-loving pup with a spunky personality! You’ll fall in love with her from your first glance!
Papaya is an option for those who have previously owned a dog, even if that experience is less recent. Kids in the home should be over the age of 7.
