My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Everyone meet Papaya. Papaya came to JTAC in rough shape. She was `found` by someone and they had brought her in. She smelled horrible of feces, extremely thin, wounds/skin infections, and she had the look of defeat and despair on her face. Underneath all of that, you could see Papaya`s spirit glowing. We loved her outrageous ears that tend flop and do their own thing. Papaya settled in and you could see her confidence flourish. She`s a four year Pittie that`s on the smaller side. She`s about thirty five pounds but still needs to pack on pounds to get to a healthy weight. She does PHENOMENAL with other dogs and enjoys their presence. Her adoption fee is $235, which includes her vaccines, fecal exam, deworming, current heartworm/flea prevention, heartworm test, registered microchip, and spay
