Paprika's Story

Hi, I'm Paprika, a three-year-old cattle dog with a name that says "spice" and a heart that's just waiting to simmer into something wonderful. I can be a little reserved when I first meet new people-think of me as mild paprika at the start-but once I feel a bit more comfortable, my sweet and affectionate side starts to season the room. I love being close to my people, soaking up attention, and I've even been known to toss out a playful bow when the mood is right. Shelter life has me a little nervous right now, so I'm hoping to find a calm, patient home where I can take my time getting comfortable and building trust. With a kind person, some gentle encouragement, and a steady routine, I think my personality will really start to spice things up in the best way. If you're looking for a loyal companion with just the right dash of sweetness and spice, I might be your Paprika. *Qualifies for Pets for Patriots program Please email Adoptions@saltlakecounty.gov with questions Primary Color: Tan Secondary Color: White Weight: 34.7lbs Age: 3yrs 7mths 1wks Animal has been Spayed

Salt Lake County Animal Services's Adoption Policy

Interested In Adopting? Adopting an animal is gaining a family member for the life of that pet. This can be a commitment of up to 20 years for a puppy or kitten! Our shelter is a stray facility, which means the animals we shelter have been lost or have been abandoned. These animals have been rescued by Animal Services Officers and citizens who have been unable to locate an owner. Based on Utah state law, we must hold every animal for at least five days to give the owner an opportunity to redeem their lost pet. If the pet is not claimed during that time, and the animal is healthy and friendly, it will become available for adoption. Adoptions are offered during our operating hours Monday through Saturday. Potential adopters should plan for some time to meet with their new pet before starting the adoption process. Please email adoptions@slco.org for an adoption appointment. We want to make the best match possible for you and your potential new pet. Consider the following questions when searching: •Do you live in an apartment/condo or a home? Do you have a fenced yard to exercise a pet? •Do you have other animals? If you currently have a dog (or dogs) you will need to bring them to meet their potential new canine friend. •Do you or anyone in your household have allergies to pets? •What is your lifestyle like? Are you more of a couch potato or very active? •If adopting a puppy or kitten, are you prepared for the extra work? •What is your family structure? Do you have kids or plan on having kids around? •Do you want a pet that follows you everywhere or is more of an independent companion?
