Paris

My story

Paris came into our care after the devastating Central Texas floods, part of our effort to support overwhelmed shelters and make room for pets displaced by the storms. By welcoming senior animals like Paris into our program, we helped ensure those lost during the flooding had a safe place to land—and now, it’s Paris’s turn to find her forever home. This sweet senior girl is living her best golden life. She moves a little slower these days (though she can handle a few stairs) and her hearing isn’t quite what it used to be. Think: your grandpa insisting he doesn’t need hearing aids but still shouting, “WHAT? SPEAK UP!”—only Paris would never shout. She’ll quietly tune in if you raise your voice just a little and will follow visual cues like a pro. Open the door, and she’ll be right behind you, ready for a slow stroll or a cozy nap in a patch of sunlight. If the stairs ever seem too daunting, Paris doesn’t mind a good “airlift” either—she’s happy to be carried like the queen she is. Paris came from an outdoor shelter, so she’s developed a deep appreciation for the finer things in life: air conditioning, fluffy beds, and especially the heated blankets her tiny chihuahua foster siblings introduced her to. She’s incredibly low maintenance and spends most of her day simply enjoying your presence. She rarely barks—unless she needs help. If she’s stuck on the couch or you’ve (oops) closed her in the crate, she’ll politely let you know with a few well-placed barks: “Excuse me, human. A little assistance, please.” Paris is thunderstorm-proof, drama-free, and deeply affectionate once she knows you’re her person. If you’re looking for a calm, loving companion to share quiet moments and warm spaces, Paris might just be the one who’s been waiting for you!
