Papaya* - Whippet Dog for Adoption in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota

Hi! I’m Papaya, but my friends call me Pya! I’m a beautiful 11⁄2-year-old, 25-pound Whippet with gorgeous brindle coloring and a personality that’s just as amazing as I am!

I’m a well-behaved girl who has free rein of my foster home because I don’t get into mischief. I’m also potty trained and know that outside is where I do my business. At night, you can find me curled up on the couch or snuggled in bed with my foster mom.

I absolutely love other dogs, big or small! I haven’t met a cat yet, so that’s still a mystery. Kids would be wonderful, too, and my foster mom thinks I’d do great with children of all ages.

I’m an active girl who would love a fenced-in yard or a family that enjoys long walks, adventures, or even going for a run together. I do need a little leash training because I get so excited that I tend to pull. But hey, I’m still young and eager to learn!

I rarely bark, and when the resident dogs get noisy, I sometimes get a little nervous and retreat to the bedroom until things quiet down. Car rides make me a bit nervous, too, but a few kind words and gentle pets help me feel better.

I have plenty of energy, but don't let that fool you—I have an off switch! A few good belly rubs and I'm ready to settle right down.

I’m sweet, loving, well-mannered, and ready to find my forever family. If you think we might be a perfect match, I’d love to meet you and answer all your questions!

Could you be the one to make my forever dreams come true?

The Whippet is a sleek and graceful breed known for its agility and speed, with origins dating back to Victorian England. These affectionate and gentle dogs make excellent companions for families and individuals alike, excelling in various activities such as lure coursing and obedience training. With their slender build and short coat, Whippets are low maintenance when it comes to grooming but require regular exercise to keep them healthy and happy.
