Meet Paula! This lovely lady is a sweet hound mix with a heartwarming story. Rescued from a high-kill shelter in Alabama, Paula was transferred north to receive some much-needed TLC and to help her find a bright future. Just look into those sad hound-dog eyes! 💖 Paula has had quite the ruff start, but her resilience is inspiring. She’s still figuring out the cozy concept of a dog bed—bless her heart! 🛏️ At about 2 years old and weighing in at 70 pounds, Paula is a gentle giant with the spirit of a true Southern belle. 🍑 She's not just sweet; she’s also playful but maintains her politeness with other doggies. Paula thrives on human companionship, quickly adapting in her foster home and even making friends with ease! While she tends to be a little submissive, she’s definitely a playful spirit when she romps around with her foster siblings. Paula adores the outdoors and gets so excited in her fenced-in yard, where she loves to run and play. 🏞️ But don’t worry; she’s not one to wander far from her foster family. Walking her is an absolute joy—she's fantastic on a leash and turns into a total sweetheart at every encounter with a stranger. I mean, she practically melts into a puddle of love when they give her pets! 💞 You might even catch her flashing that adorable wrinkly-nose face while she’s checking things out! Paula is completely crate trained; her crate is her safe haven. She loves to chill there for naps and is happy to rest while her foster family is out. When new friends come to visit, you’ll be charmed by her tail-wagging excitement! She might give a bark first, but it’s just her saying ‘hello’ before she runs over to greet you with gentle hops. 🥰 Paula is spayed, crate trained, vaccinated, housebroken, and has been cat tested. She’s also great with other dogs! While she hasn’t been around kids yet, her foster family believes she’d do wonderfully with them too. This affectionate lady is just bursting with love and is absolutely ready to find her forever family. 💖 So, will you be the one to give Paula the loving home she truly deserves?
