Paige

Meet Paige (ACCT-A-252785)! This sweet and intelligent girl is a total professional when it comes to being a companion. Paige is a gentle soul who is already fully housebroken and crate trained, making her transition into a new home much easier. She previously lived in a home with adults and children, where she was known for her well-mannered and easygoing personality.

Paige is a smart cookie who already knows several commands, including "sit," "stay," "come here," "cage," and "bed." She's a medium-energy girl who enjoys her walks but is just as happy to settle in for some belly rubs-which are her absolute favorite! While she is friendly and loves being around humans, she is also a loyal companion who will alert you if someone is approaching the property.

If you are looking for a loving, smart, and well-behaved friend to add to your family, Paige is ready to meet you!

Behavioral Notes 6/19 Per day trip foster : Activities on the Day Trip: Walk in the wissahickon and along the creek, car ride, walk in a park, pup cup! Where did you go, and would you recommend it to others? Why or why not? I would totally recommend going to the wissahickon as there are lots of people who stopped us interested in learning more about adopting her. I also think she liked the nature. How was the dog's energy level throughout the trip? 4 / 5 How was the dog in the car? (N/a if no car ride) Wonderful If indoors, did the dog seem house trained? N/A How comfortable was the dog in new surroundings? Very comfortable How did the dog react seeing other animals in passing (cats, dogs, squirrels, birds, etc.)? Did not react/ignored them How did the dog react seeing people, such as runners, bikers, or children? She was friendly towards all and did t react to bikes passing us by. Describe the dog's leash manners (e.g., pulls on leash, walks nicely, jumpy, leash biting). Pulled at first when excited but then walked well. How did the dog take treats? (e.g., Snatchy, took gently, or was not interested in treats, etc.) Gently Which commands did the dog respond to? Sit Favorite moment from day trip? Her going in the wissahickon creek and her sweet kisses! Please share any information about the dog that would be helpful to know She got a little mouthy at the end nibbling arms

06/18/2026 per staff behavioral eval: Kennel Presentation: At the front of her kennel, jumping up on the door, soft eyes, ears back, mid tail wags, loose wiggly body. Taking treats gently.

Leash Skills: Tossed treats to get her off the door and then was able to easily leash. Came right out and walked on a loose leash, ears back, loose body.

Sociability: Stayed nearby in the yard, would come over when called or when I kneeled down with soft eyes, ears back, loose wiggly body. Allowed all handling and started lightly mouthing my arm and gently jumping up on me when handling. I stopped handling and she stopped mouthing and jumping. She is food motivated and knows sit!

Dog Interaction: Met Zebra Cakes, moving away, when greeting, tense body, tail high, ears back, moves away on her own.

Return to Kennel: Walked back loose leash, with the same body language as walking out. Went right into kennel and tried going back out, with a treat she stayed in and leash was removed easily.
