🌟 Meet the delightful Paige! 🌟 This gorgeous young dog has a heartwarming story that will tug at your heartstrings. Surrendered by her family due to unforeseen hardships, Paige came to our shelter on the very last day of 2025, with soulful eyes that held a world of sadness. But let me tell you, she’s a trooper! Although she felt scared and lost, her family found solace knowing she would be safe in our loving no-kill shelter. Paige is a medium-sized wonder, around 33-35 lbs of pure love and charm. With her sleek black coat, sparkling alert eyes, and friendly smile, she could melt even the coldest of hearts. 🖤 While her exact breeds are a mystery, she resembles an Australian Kelpie, possibly mixed with a bit of Dutch Shepherd. Whatever her mix, she's one stunning pup! As she slowly comes out of her shell, her sweet personality begins to shine through. It’s a journey, folks! When you first meet her, you might notice the timidity—she's still learning to trust again. But oh, when you get her moving on a leash and talk to her softly, you’ll see those initial nerves transform into joy! 🌈 We’ve created a cozy space for her to relax, and it’s working wonders; she’s been eating better and putting on a little weight. But let’s keep it real—she still needs some tender loving care. One of Paige’s favorite things is playing fetch—this girl jumps for joy when it’s playtime! 🎾 She adores people, is fantastic with kids, and yes, she’s even lived with a cat! Just remember, responsible introductions are key. She walks beautifully on a leash and is already housetrained—talk about a gem! Paige may have recently lost everything she knew, but she’s courageously trying to embrace a new beginning. If you’re looking for a smart, medium-sized dog who simply needs a warm heart and some TLC, Paige could be the love of your life! ❤️ So, don’t wait, potential adopters! If you think you can offer this sweet girl the loving home she deserves, *please submit your application through the Buddy App*. Your new best friend is just a click away! Note: All adopters must come to the shelter for transport. Out-of-state adoptions are welcome, but meeting her in person is a must! Let’s brighten this beautiful soul’s future together! ✨
