Paisley is a tiny Jack Russell Terrier/Chihuahua mix with a hopeful heart and a gentle, shy personality. At 1 year old and 7 pounds, she is learning to trust people one small step at a time. Once she feels safe, she becomes a loving little shadow who enjoys staying close to her person, relaxing on the couch, and curling up nearby at night.

Paisley enjoys three daily walks and walks nicely on leash without pulling. She is mostly a quiet couch companion rather than a playful, high-energy dog. She currently lives peacefully with another small dog, though she prefers calm companionship. With patience and understanding, she is gradually becoming more confident and affectionate.

Ideal Home

Paisley would thrive with patient, experienced adopters who will allow trust to develop at her own pace. A quieter home without young children would help her feel secure. She may bark back when other dogs bark and can feel uneasy around unfamiliar sights, sounds, and children at a distance.

Ongoing Health

DPS Rescue dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, treated for fleas and ticks, and microchipped before adoption.

Training & Support

• Paisley is trained to use a pee pad indoors and reliably uses it when she is not on a walk.
• She walks well on leash and enjoys a consistent routine.
• She may chew nervously when left alone, so shoes, charging cables, and other tempting items should be kept out of reach. Appropriate chew toys and careful management will help her succeed.
