In the shelter’s words
Meet Paula ❤️ Just look at those adorable little legs—how could you not fall in love? But Paula’s beauty goes far beyond her looks… she has a gentle soul and a heart full of love just waiting to be shared. Paula was rescued from Contra Costa Animal Services just in time, narrowly escaping euthanasia. Now safe, she’s been given a second chance at life—but what she truly needs is a forever home where she can finally feel secure and loved. Paula has been through a lot. Because of her past, she is timid, shy, and struggles with trust. It’s clear she hasn’t always been treated with kindness. She needs a patient, compassionate person who will give her the time and understanding she deserves—someone willing to help her rebuild her trust and show her that not all humans will hurt her. This sweet girl is about 3 years old, a Lab/Staffordshire Terrier mix, and weighs just 28 lbs—making her the perfect medium-sized companion. Once she feels safe, Paula is incredibly affectionate and loves being close to her people. She also does wonderfully with other dogs, which can help her continue to build confidence. Paula is fully vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed—completely ready to start her new life. She’s been given a second chance… now she just needs someone to choose her, to be patient with her, and to love her unconditionally. If you’re interested in adopting, fostering, or fostering-to-adopt Paula, please reach out to the rescue.
