PAPAYA

Papaya, aka ‘Pya’ for short, has spent the last year in a dog shelter. Observation has taught us that this gal was never socialized in her younger years … she had absolutely no idea how to interact with other dogs until recently, is still trying to figure out what to do with toys, is not sure what to do off leash in a fenced yard, and is skeptical of human intentions in general. However since moving into a foster home, her horizons are broadening, her anxiety is lessening, her curiosity is compelling and she is actually seeking out human and canine companionship although slow intros are a must and toddlers are terrifying! Papaya is looking for a home where she can continue growing … someone wanting to go for walks or hikes would be ideal. She would be content as an only dog but absolutely can be part of a pack who will give her time to adjust. She is crate trained and housebroken. Lab mix, FS, 40lbs. $200<br/><br/>Almost 2 yrs old (as of April 2026)<br/><br/>Children 12+<br/><br/>If you would like to meet PAPAYA please complete an application for adoption, copy and paste this link into your browser<br/><br/>https://fs17.formsite.com/adoptionscc/form1/<br/>Any vaccinations/boosters due after adoption is finalized will be the new owner's responsibility. All animals are current at time of adoption but in some cases a booster series is required or a vaccine cannot be given due to age and cannot be completed prior to adoption<br/><br/>Our adoptable animals come to us from various sources, the most common being from an animal shelter who is unable to handle their physical or mental needs in the shelter setting but believe with the appropriate care, they can become adoptable.
