Papaya is a 2-month-old, 10-pound sweetheart believed to be an Aussie mix. She's already working hard on her house training, crate training, and leash skills - with continued consistency and encouragement, she's sure to grow into a fantastic companion. Papaya thrives on routine and does best when her day follows a simple rhythm: crate → potty → training → food → sleep. She's a quick learner who genuinely enjoys training time and is always ready to please. She also has a fun side—Papaya loves carrots as a crunchy treat! Like many puppies, she's a big-time nibbler right now, so having a bone or toy nearby for her to chew is the perfect way to keep her happy and help redirect those puppy teeth. Like many herding breeds, Papaya is smart, active, and eager to learn. She'll do best with a committed family who can keep up with her energy and provide ongoing puppy training. She will need at least 1–2+ hours of daily exercise, plenty of mental stimulation through training or “jobs,” and consistent socialization to help her grow into a confident, well-mannered companion and prevent unwanted behaviors such as nipping or separation anxiety. She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations and will be available for adoption 3/8/26 through Paws Across Pittsburgh, Springdale, PA 15144 KL# 16182.
