Meet Papaya (or Pya,

Meet Papaya (or Pya, as her close friends call her!) 🐾

This gorgeous 1.5-year-old, 25 lb Whippet with a stunning brindle coat is the complete package—sweet, smart, active, and endlessly affectionate!

Here is why Pya might just be your dream dog:

House-Trained & Well-Manner ✨ Pya has earned free rein of her foster home because she’s trustworthy and mischief-free. She’s fully potty-trained and knows outside is for business!

Dog & Kid Friendly 🐶👧 She loves other dogs (big or small!) and would do wonderfully with kids of any age. (Cats are still a mystery!)

Active with an Off-Switch 🏃‍♀️💤 Pya loves long walks, runs, and backyards to zoom around in, but once she gets her energy out, a few belly rubs will have her happily snuggling on the couch or in bed with you.

Quiet & Gentle 🤫 She rarely barks and prefers a calm vibe—when things get too noisy, she’ll gently retreat to a quiet spot until the excitement passes.

Eager to Learn 🎓 As a young pup, she gets a little excited on leash and is working on her walking manners, but she’s eager to learn and responds so well to gentle encouragement and pets (especially during car rides!).

Pya is sweet, loving, and ready for her forever family. Could that be you? 🧡
