About Paula

Meet Paula, a lovely female spaniel mix around 4-5 years old. This sweet girl has had a tough start, likely abandoned before being rescued and brought to a foster home. Despite her past, Paula has blossomed in her new environment and loves to follow her foster mom everywhere, soaking up affection and belly rubs. She has a healed old leg injury that gives her a slight limp but doesn’t slow her down much. Paula also had a serious health issue that required an emergency operation, but she is now spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and ready for a forever home. While she gets along well with other dogs, she'll thrive best as the only pet in the household, as she's a bit territorial over her food. She is house trained, crate trained, and knows commands like sit, shake, and lay down. Paula enjoys a laid-back lifestyle, often content to relax at her person's feet. If you think you can provide Paula with the love and stability she deserves, check out the application process with Emmet County Animal Shelter. Let’s change her sad eyes to happy ones!
