About Paula

Meet Paula, also affectionately known as Momma Paula by her foster family. This adult female mixed-breed dog has a warm, nurturing spirit, likely stemming from her experiences as a mother to a litter of puppies. She displays a strong instinct to care for young animals and children, relishing her role as a gentle guardian. Paula is curious by nature and loves to explore her surroundings, so a secure yard is a must. Though she can be a bit of a couch potato, she enjoys her time outdoors, especially rolling around in the grass or soaking up the sun. Paula is friendly with both dogs and children, making her an excellent companion. She's also okay with cats; she approaches them cautiously but doesn't chase. Toys are becoming a new source of fun for her, and treats—particularly meaty ones—are her ultimate weakness. Paula is spayed and her vaccinations are up to date. This loving dog is currently in Bauxite, AR, being cared for by Southern Hearts Rescue. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
