About PAPRIKA

Darling, wanna be lap dog PAPRIKA was understandably a bit shy and nervous upon her arrival at the shelter, but still sweet and friendly. Paprika was found by police (with her brother who has already been rescued.) She was tied up to a fence in the Bronx and abandoned, her mouth bleeding. A wiggly, expert snuggler from the start, the volunteers started making Paprika some movies, and, as you can see from the third, she is shy no more! Whether she's cuddling up or happily playing with her toys, Paprika is an adorable, super loving and lovable girl who is more than ready to find her forever home. Due to her initial shyness, and fear of loud noises and sudden movements, she is available to households where any children are ages 13 and up. A volunteer writes: When I first meet cute little Paprika, she was a bit shy and nervous; but I took a slow, patient approach, and I saw her blossom into a new cuddle-buddy. She knows me pretty well at this point, and even before I finish saying her name as I greet her, she's already wiggling and waggling into me. One of her favorite things is crawling into one of our laps (she's not picky - as long as she feels safe and comfortable, any lap will do) and snuggling into our arms, lazily hanging out there while taking in all the sights. Sweet Paprika also loves toys; and watching her carry her new plush duckie onto her bed and curl up with it just warms my heart; and hearing its squeak-squeak-squeaking fill the room is like music to my ears. We don't know Paprika's history with other dogs, but when we introduced her to a dog on two separate occasions (one male, one female), she was uncomfortable and aloof with both of them. This sweet little mush-ball will definitely melt your heart! You can meet her at our Queens shelter, where's she patiently awaiting her fur-ever home. Her Boroughbreak Buddy writes: Paprika seems to be a staff favorite, and I get it. She was such a happy girl, always wagging her tail and wanting cuddles. She deserves a home where she can be spoiled with affection and all the toys What my friends at ACC say about me: My history is a mystery and my friends here do not know much about me yet! It is unknown if I have ever lived with other animals or children. I would do best in a home with only adult humans. I'm sensitive and shy. I'll need extra help from you. I would appreciate slow introductions to new people and places to help me feel safe.
