Shy shelter pup loves to ‘gently chase butterflies’ in TX. She needs a new home
A sweetheart of a dog is on the look out for a home at a Texas shelter — and she’s certainly a unique canine.
“Meet Paris — A gentle soul with a playful spark,” the South Plains Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) in Lubbock said in an Aug. 22 Facebook post.
“Introducing Paris, a soft-eyed, shy beauty with a heart as deep as her dark, silky coat. This sweet girl is possibly a Golden Retriever mix, but whatever her heritage, one thing is certain — she’s 100% love once you earn her trust.”
Kind Paris is a timid girl, like a lot of dogs in a shelter situation, but it doesn’t take a lot for her to melt into people’s arms.
“Paris is a quiet observer at first, taking her time to warm up to new people and environments,” the shelter said in her adoption profile.
“But give her patience, kindness, and a little space to come out of her shell, and you’ll be rewarded with a deeply, loyal, silly, and joyful companion. Once she feels safe, her personality shines — and oh, what a personality it is!”
Paris has hobbies that make her one-of-a-kind in the kindest way possible.
“She loves to gently chase butterflies and the occasional floating tuft of fur, and she carries her favorite stuffed animals around like precious treasures. There’s something endlessly charming about the way she trots through the yard, toy in mouth, tail wagging just a little braver each day,” the shelter said.
She also has a partner she mainly sticks to.
“Paris is also wonderful with other dogs and cats and finds confidence in their company — but her heart belongs to her best friend, Blossom, an outgoing Golden mix who helps her feel safe and supported. These two have been through a lot together; and Paris truly blossoms when Blossom is nearby,” the shelter said.
The shelter is hoping to keep both dogs together and go to a home with owners who know how to work with shy dogs.
Paris is house and crate trained.
