About Papaya

Meet Papaya, affectionately known as Pya. At just 1.5 years old, this 25-pound Whippet has a brindle coat and a personality that's as radiant as her looks. Pya's a well-mannered girl who enjoys the freedom of her foster home. She's potty trained and knows just where to do her business. In the evenings, she loves to curl up on the couch or snuggle in bed with her foster mom. Dogs are her jam—she adores them, both big and small! Pya hasn't encountered any cats yet, so that remains to be seen, but her sweet nature suggests she’d do well. She would also thrive in a home with children of any age. An active companion, Pya would thrive in a home with a fenced-in yard or a family who loves long walks, adventures, or even the occasional run. She'll need a bit of leash training, as her excitement sometimes leads her to pull. Despite her energy, Pya knows how to unwind. After some belly rubs, she settles down peacefully. Although she rarely barks, loud noises can unsettle her, prompting her to find a quieter space. Car rides are also a bit challenging for her, but gentle words and soothing pets help ease her nerves. Affectionate and eager to please, Papaya is on the lookout for her forever home. If you think you could be the one to make her dreams come true, she would love to meet you and share more about herself! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
