My story

Everyone meet Papaya. Papaya came to JTAC in rough shape. She was `found` by someone and they had brought her in. She smelled horrible of feces, extremely thin, wounds/skin infections, and she had the look of defeat and despair on her face. Underneath all of that, you could see Papaya`s spirit glowing. We loved her outrageous ears that tend flop and do their own thing. Papaya settled in and you could see her confidence flourish. She`s a four year Pittie that`s on the smaller side. She`s about thirty five pounds but still needs to pack on pounds to get to a healthy weight. When she first arrived, Papaya did PHENOMENAL with other dogs and enjoyed their presence. She has been with us for quite some time now and is stressed. She is not a fan of other dogs here so she is looking for a home without other pets while she adjusts and decompresses. She may be open to dogs again once she settles in. She is not a fan of cats. Her adoption fee is $160, which includes her vaccines, fecal exam, deworming, current heartworm/flea prevention, heartworm test, registered microchip, and spay

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Papaya, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
