In the shelter’s words
Papaya came to us from Moreno Valley Shelter along with his brother Wrasse. Both were feral, and it has taken some time for them to open up to volunteers. However, Papaya is the more outgoing one of the pair, and he has been making great strides in his foster home! Papaya has an estimated DOB of June 2018 and he is a great compact size of around 30 pounds. The brothers are both skittish and need help building up trust and confidence around people. Papaya has grown comfortable around familiar volunteers and now greets them with a wagging tail! (This could also be because he's come to learn they come with treats). He is now in foster and while he's a great walker, he's still working on being comfortable interacting with his people in the home. He is fantastic with other dogs of all shapes and sizes and would likely do well in a home where a more confident dog can show him the ropes!If you'd like to meet Papaya, please visit www.thebarkinglot.net/adoptTo initiate the adoption process for this dog, please complete our online application by clicking below.

Plan a visit with the source organization
Our goal is to find the right match for each pooch based on lifestyle, energy level, exercise regime, environment and living situation. To ensure we find a great match for each pup, the process includes: 1) Filling out an Adoption Application. 2) a play date with your furry friend, 3) a home check of the potential adopter, 4) an adoption contract, 5) an adoption fee. The adoption fees include spay/neuter, up-to-date shots, rabies vaccination, microchip & microchip registration, de-worming and the benefit of getting a pooch who has been living in a stable and loving environment. Dogs are fostered in our homes to create the same type of environment into which each will be adopted. We strive to meet each pup's needs in terms of exercise, socialization and basic manners, including potty training.
