Paige

Meet Paige<br/>Paige is a beautiful young dog. She was surrendered when her family became homeless. They couldn’t care for Paige any longer. They came to our shelter on the very last day of 2025, exhausted and heartbroken. The surrender was tough. Paige was scared and sad, but the family was at peace knowing Paige would be safe at our no kill shelter.<br/>Paige is a two-year-old medium sized dog, about 33 - 35 lbs. She has a gorgeous black coat, alert eyes and a friendly smile. It’s hard to know her breeds, but she most looks like an Australian Kelpie, with perhaps a little Dutch Shepherd thrown in. We aren’t really sure though. She is coming out of her shell and showing her personality to our staff. But she is still scared and uncertain and very sad. She wants to trust us but is timid. Only when we get her walking and we talk to her does she begin to relax. We’ve moved her to a quieter location where she can decompress. It seems to be helping. She’s eating better but is still so thin. Her owners said she loves fetch, jumps for attention and gives hugs. Paige likes people, does well with kids, and likes dogs. She lived with a cat and should be fine with one as long as introductions are handled responsibly. Paige walks well on a leash and she’s housetrained too. <br/>Paige is a great young dog. She’s just lost everything but is trying hard to be brave. She loves going into the yard with our staff. She’s curious and likes to sniff, but has a wonderful habit of checking in. She’s a sweet girl and will be a wonderful addition to your family.
