About Papaya

Meet Papaya, the sweetest little shadow dog you'll ever encounter. This clever puppy is as gentle as she is intelligent, quickly mastering every skill thrown her way. She's already learned to respond to her name and has fantastic crate and house-training habits; she lets you know when she needs to go outside and has had no indoor accidents. At around 9 months old and expected to weigh close to 40 lbs when fully grown, Papaya walks beautifully on a leash, with just a bit of excited pulling when she spots a squirrel. She gets along wonderfully with people of all ages and dogs of all sizes. Rarely barking, she easily settles into her crate and sleeps soundly through the night. Though she has typical puppy chewing tendencies, her eagerness to please and calm demeanor make her an amazing companion. If you're looking for a loyal and loving shadow to make your house feel like home, Papaya is ready to win your heart! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
