Hi there! Papaya here.
I'm a six-year-old Lab who's learned that people are pretty great, and I'll walk your heart right off its leash once you earn my trust.
The notes mention I love a busy family. The more the merrier, honestly.
I won't fib — there's a little grey on my muzzle. "Older" just means I'm past the wild puppy chaos and all in on cozy company.
I've been holding down the fort in San Diego, hoping someone like you would wander by.
Here's the thing — I can't tell if we'd truly click until I know a little about you. Sign in (it's free) and I'll size up your place, say hello to any dogs you've got — or be your very first — and give you my honest read on whether we'd be a match.
With a little luck, Labor Day could be my first one in a real home — possibly with you, or with someone you send my way.
Anyway, thank you for reading all the way to the end. Not everyone does, and I noticed. — Papaya

About Papaya
Papaya is a Labrador Retriever mix with an estimated birth date of June 2018, weighing around 30 pounds. He arrived at the shelter as a feral dog and has made significant progress in his foster home, becoming more comfortable and outgoing over time. Papaya greets familiar people with a wagging tail and walks well on leash, though he is still building confidence with people in a home setting. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs of all sizes and would thrive in a home with a more confident dog companion who can help him feel secure.
