Meet Paprika!
This little lovebug is all about her people. If you're looking for a constant companion, Paprika is your girl-she lives for snuggles, lap time, and giving out endless kisses (seriously, she has a lot to give). Her favorite place? Curled up right next to you-whether that's perched on the back of the couch by your head or tucked in close all night long.

Paprika is treat-motivated and oh-so-gentle, does well in her kennel, and is making great progress with potty training. She currently lives with dogs big and small, plus a cat, and coexists nicely-though she prefers calmer companions and isn't a fan of high-energy puppy antics. She'd do well with a laid-back dog, a cat, or as your one-and-only spoiled princess.

She's still gaining confidence on walks, but improves a little more each day. She rides nicely in the car and was a star at the vet. At home, she may bark at new visitors, but give her a few kind words and a couple treats, and she'll quickly be asking for pets and handing out kisses.

Paprika has shown some food guarding, so she'll need continued guidance there-but she's a smart girl who wants to please.

After a rough start, Paprika is ready for the life she deserves: a loving home, a warm lap, and someone to call her own.
