Paisley

My story

ABOUT PAISLEY Meet Paisley, affectionately known as Pai-Pai or Paisley Pie by our staff! This sweet 3-year-old girl came to HAP when her owner had to move back home with family members who are allergic to dogs. When Paisley first arrived, she had very dry and irritated skin, but after a diet change and some treatment, she’s made a remarkable recovery! A few weeks in our care, and she’s grown her fur back, revealing not only her beautiful markings but also her equally stunning personality! Paisley loves all people and has previously lived with dogs, cats, and children. Her favorite thing in the world is curling up on your lap and falling asleep—nothing beats a good cuddle for this girl! She thrives on attention, is very treat-motivated, and loves to please. Paisley is crate-trained, walks well on a leash, and gets along wonderfully with other dogs, enjoying playtime with her fellow shelter pups. If you’re looking for a companion who loves adventure as much as she loves snuggling with her humans, Paisley Pie is the perfect girl for you! Check out what our volunteers had to say about their Doggy Day Out with Paisley: "Paisley is such a sweet, sweet girl. She hopped right up into my SUV with no problem and she rides great. Walking her is so easy, she really doesn’t zig-zag. She walks pretty straight, and there is slack in the leash. If you tell her to leave something, she listens. Because of the rain yesterday, we walked on paved trails. In one little section, there was muddy water on both sides with a narrow dry path between. I told her to not get into the water, and she carefully walked on the dry part. She tended to match the reaction of whatever dog we were passing. If they got a bit excited, so did she. If they were calm, so was she. Paisley gives the sweetest kisses. She loved meeting people on the walk. A number of people said they would take her if they could. I really enjoyed the day with her." -Karen "Paisley and I had an amazing day together exploring Middle Run Valley! It took us a bit to find the perfect trail, but once we did, she was an absolute star. She’s fantastic on a leash, no pulling, just patience and enthusiasm as we made our way down the slopes. She loved sniffing and exploring, taking in all the new sights and smells. One of the best moments? A big log had fallen across the trail, resting on a steep hillside. Paisley climbed up it eagerly (I got a great picture!) and, instead of carefully walking back down, she took a flying leap and happily continued her walk. She really wanted to play in the stream, too, this girl loves adventure! We met a few groups of people and she was beyond excited to say hello, offering her signature flying kisses. She also has the cutest little snorts and snuffles as she walks, sounding like a happy little piglet. Paisley is not only a joy on adventures but also a total cuddlebug at home. She’s an absolutely stunning dog, and I think she deserves an updated glamour shot to show just how beautiful she truly is! If you’re looking for a dog who’s equal parts trail buddy and couch companion, Paisley is your girl!" - Em If you are interested in adopting this dog, please submit an adoption questionnaire!

If you are interested in this specific dog but it ends up not being the best fit upon meeting, our adoption counselors will work with you to help find a match! All household members, including children and other dogs, must come along for the meeting to make sure it's a good fit. If a match is made, we encourage same-day adoptions!
