About Paisley

Meet Paisley, a warm and affectionate young female Husky mix. She was rescued from Puerto Rico and found her way to Barrington, Illinois, before needing a new home due to unforeseen circumstances. This situation is no reflection of her wonderful nature. Paisley thrives in the company of children and gets along well with other dogs, making her a great addition to a family with furry siblings. She is fully potty-trained and crate-trained, which makes settling into a new home easier. Paisley enjoys walks, fetch, and, of course, plenty of cuddles with her people. While she can be a bit shy on a leash and in busy areas, she has the potential to build confidence with a patient family that uses gentle, positive training techniques. She's quick to learn and eager to please. Although her behavior around cats is unknown, she’s ready to share her love and companionship. Could Paisley be the right fit for your family?
