PAISLEY.

Meet Paisley, the epitome of boundless joy and canine companionship! This beautiful girl thrives in the hustle and bustle of a lively home, making her an ideal candidate for a family or as a companion to another dog. At 48 lbs, she's a bundle of energy who loves nothing more than being at the center of attention, whether it's playing with kids or socializing with other dogs. Despite her size, Paisley thinks she's a lapdog and often tries to cozy up on your lap for some affection.

Socially, Paisley is a star. Her tail never stops wagging, and she’s quick to roll over for some belly rubs, showing her submissive and friendly nature. She gets along wonderfully with both big and small dogs, adjusting her play style to match her playmates—from wrestling with larger dogs to gently kissing the smaller ones. Kids adore her, and while she's generally gentle, she sometimes gets a tad overexcited and might jump up. A little reminder is all it takes for her to keep all four paws on the ground. Given that she’s still a youngster, Paisley can be bitey, though her fosters are working on this!

Paisley is well-versed in basic commands, though she can sometimes be distracted by the excitement around her. Her daily routine includes three energetic one-hour walks and playtime, which she absolutely relishes. Whether it's fetching, tug of war, or running around, she’s all in. After a fun day, she settles down with some cuddles, perfectly content to be by your side.

Despite her adventurous spirit, Paisley has a few quirks. She's not a fan of elevators, opting for the stairs instead—an easy feat since she currently lives on the third floor of a condo. When left alone for too long, she might voice her displeasure or get a little destructive with her blankets, but these are just signs that she misses her humans.

In summary, Paisley is the ultimate companion for anyone with an active lifestyle and a big heart for playful, affectionate dogs. She’s ready to fill your days with laughter, love, and a bit of goofiness. All she needs is a loving home where she can share endless cuddles and adventures.

Could your family be the perfect match for our sweet, lively Paisley?
