Meet Papaya

Hi! I’m Papaya, but my friends call me Pya! I’m a beautiful 1½-year-old, 25-pound Whippet with gorgeous brindle coloring and a personality that’s just as amazing as I am! I’m a well-behaved girl who has free rein of my foster home because I don’t get into mischief. I’m also potty trained and know that outside is where I do my business. At night, you can find me curled up on the couch or snuggled in bed with my foster mom. I absolutely love other dogs, big or small! I haven’t met a cat yet, so that’s still a mystery. Kids would be wonderful, too, and my foster mom thinks I’d do great with children of all ages. I’m an active girl who would love a fenced-in yard or a family that enjoys long walks, adventures, or even going for a run together. I do need a little leash training because I get so excited that I tend to pull. But hey, I’m still young and eager to learn! I rarely bark, and when the resident dogs get noisy, I sometimes get a little nervous and retreat to the bedroom until things quiet down. Car rides make me a bit nervous, too, but a few kind words and gentle pets help me feel better. I have plenty of energy, but don't let that fool you—I have an off switch! A few good belly rubs and I'm ready to settle right down. I’m sweet, loving, well-mannered, and ready to find my forever family. If you think we might be a perfect match, I’d love to meet you and answer all your questions! Could you be the one to make my forever dreams come true?
