Paris

New Year, New Beginnings!<br/>A huge thanks to our partners at Best Friends Animal Society for sponsoring this animals adoption fee! Helping us place more cats and dogs into loving homes this season!<br/><br/>**Adoption visits are by appointment only** If you see an animal you're interested in, fill out an adoption questionnaire on our website https://everettwa.gov/161/Adopt-a-Pet<br/><br/>Paris is a 4.5-year-old shepherd mix with a heart as big as her beautiful ears. In her foster home, she has blossomed into a happy and playful companion who also knows how to unwind and enjoy the quiet moments. She loves sprinting around the yard chasing balls and going on long, steady walks — she’s great at both and would thrive with a family who enjoys an active lifestyle.<br/><br/>Inside the home, Paris is learning all the right things. Her mouthing has decreased significantly as she’s discovered that calm behavior brings affection. When she gets a little too excited, a simple leash loop helps her settle quickly — a trick that has become her "reset button." She’s also becoming quite the couch-lounger, happily snuggling up until she gets a bit warm and hops off to cool down.<br/><br/>Paris is wonderfully polite with people. She isn’t overly excitable when meeting new faces and naturally gives respectful space. She recently spent time with young children (ages 3 and 6) and handled their noise and energy with grace. Her foster describes her as gentle and steady around kids, making her a great match for families who appreciate a dog with balanced energy.<br/><br/>When it comes to other animals, Paris is still figuring things out. She did well with two calm cats but had a tense moment with a more assertive one. With time, structure, and consistency, she may learn to coexist peacefully — but for now, she’s best suited to a cat-free home.<br/><br/>Paris is sensitive to fireworks and prefers a safe, cozy space during loud booms. On New Year’s Eve, she chose to relax in her crate with blankets until the noise passed, showing that she knows how to self-soothe when given the right environment.<br/><br/>One delightful surprise: Paris is incredibly easy to handle. Her foster slipped a muzzle on her for the first time with nothing more than peanut butter and patience — no fuss at all. This makes her a great fit for adopters who value a dog that’s cooperative and easy to manage.<br/><br/>Paris is the full package: energetic yet calm, playful yet polite, affectionate yet independent. She’ll thrive with a family who can keep up with her zest for life while also honoring her need for peaceful downtime.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who brings both joy and serenity into your home, Paris may be the perfect match.
