About Paula

Paula is a 5-year-old hound mix in Corpus Christi, TX with a big heart and an even bigger cuddle streak. She weighs in at about medium size, sports a tricolor coat, and loves letting loose on sunny days—sunbathing, playing with toys, and taking long walks. Once a stray and a mom many times over, Paula now has the chance to just be a dog: carefree, curious, and always up for a good belly rub. Her foster family has helped her rebuild trust, and Paula shows her gratitude by showering affection on the people she loves. She truly enjoys the company of children and gets along well with other dogs, making her a great fit for a lively household; however, she does need a cat-free home since her hound nose can't resist chasing them. Paula is sharp, eager to learn, and really needs both mental and physical stimulation—a family that’ll match her intelligence and energy, while appreciating her gentle, settled side, would be ideal. Her puppy days are behind her, so she’s past all that wild puppy energy, but she still sparkles with joy. Paula has finally gotten her shot at a better life and deserves a family who’ll give her the same love she brings in spades. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
