Up late too? Hi. Papaya here.
I'm a calm, gentle soul who knows my manners and just wants a quiet home where I can curl up beside you and show you how much I care.
My notes call me gentle and a little shy — I warm up fast once I trust you, though.
I'm a seasoned soul, which is a fancy way of saying I've perfected the art of the afternoon nap and the grateful sigh.
I'm a Carrollton local, just waiting on the right person.
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.
Who knows — by Halloween I might be napping on somebody's couch. I'd love it to be near you, one way or another.
Thanks for stopping by and giving me a moment — it honestly made my whole day. — Papaya

About Papaya
Papaya is an 8 year old female Red Heeler mix, and believe us, she is just as sweet as she looks! With her beautiful white face and those incredibly hopeful "please love me" eyes, this gentle girl has a way of tugging at your heart from the moment you meet her. Papaya is calm, very well-mannered, and an absolute pleasure to walk on leash. She knows Sit and Paw, and she politely greets people, other dogs, and even cats. For the past couple weeks, Papaya has enjoyed staying in a volunteer's home, and has been an absolute Foster Star! She has been great with his resident dog and cat, and loves spending time curled up on a soft bed or couch to enjoy a quiet evening at home. For a short while, Papaya was adopted into a wonderful home where she was dearly loved; but sadly, she was very frightened by rural neighbors who constantly shot their guns. So her new family made the difficult decision to bring Papaya back to her foster, because they didn't want her to live in fear of the frequent gunfire noise. All this sweetheart dreams of is a loving and quiet home, along with a soft bed and someone to give her whole heart to. Could you be the one to make Papaya's dreams come true? Be sure to meet her soon, and find out! The adoption fee covers the spay/neuter surgery, a 1-year rabies shot, an fvrcp shot (feline distemper/upper respiratory vaccine), test for feline aids and leukemia, deworming, and microchip.
