My story

Papaya | 1 yr | 37 lbs | Female | Mixed Breed | Spayed | Microchipped | Vaccines - UTD | Crate, House & Leash Trained | Super sweet Meet Papaya, your future professional cuddler�� Papaya is a goofy, affectionate girl with a heart full of love and a talent for making people smile. Her favorite hobby is starting at one end of the couch and slowly inching her way closer until she’s curled up right beside you for snuggles and kisses. She’s house trained, crate trained, and leash trained, and is incredibly patient and gentle with children. Papaya loves playing hide-and-seek, keeping watch from the window for her favorite people to come home, and being part of every family activity. This sweet girl will have you laughing with her upside-down sleeping positions and her silly, lovable personality. She enjoys her daily walks, loves spending time outdoors, and thrives on routine. Whether she’s playing, napping, or simply keeping you company while you make dinner, Papaya is happiest when she’s with her people. Papaya gets along well with most dogs she meets, and while her experience with cats is unknown, she has a friendly and easygoing nature. If you’re looking for a loyal best friend who will fill your days with laughter, cuddles, and unconditional love, Papaya is ready to meet you!

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Papaya, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
