About Paisley

Meet Paisley, a young and affectionate Husky mix who was rescued from Puerto Rico and found a temporary home in Barrington, Illinois. Unfortunately, her family needs to rehome her due to a health issue, but this doesn’t reflect on Paisley at all. Paisley is great with children and gets along wonderfully with other dogs, making her an ideal companion for a household with furry siblings. She's house-trained and crate-trained, and she loves going for walks, playing fetch, and snuggling with her humans. While she's generally friendly, Paisley can be a bit shy, especially on a leash or in busy areas. A patient family that can help her gain confidence through positive reinforcement training is essential. Her intelligence shines through as she learns quickly. Although her behavior with cats isn't known, she has a lot of love to give. Could Paisley be your new family member?
