Description
Dog Breed: Papillon / Pomeranian / Mixed. Adoption Fee: 600. Alfredo is a sweet, fluffy little guy with a gentle heart and a playful spirit once he settles in. When he first arrived, he was a bit unsure of his new surroundings, but it didn’t take long for his true personality to shine through. After a short warm-up period, Alfredo shows himself to be an affectionate, fun-loving pup who enjoys being close to his people. He has a moderate energy level and enjoys playing with toys, but he’s just as happy hanging out nearby. One of his cutest habits is laying right at your feet while you’re getting ready — he clearly loves being close and keeping an eye on his person. Because of this, adopters should be aware that he may present as a trip hazard as he tends to stick close once he’s comfortable. Alfredo is still building confidence in new environments and with new people, but he warms up within a few minutes and becomes friendly and engaging. He is eager to please, gentle by nature, and does well with small dogs. He can be vocal at times, particularly when other dogs are barking or if he is confined in a kennel. He does not enjoy being crated, but this hasn’t posed an issue in his foster home. Alfredo has done well being left out when his foster is away, especially in a home with a doggy door, which suits him best. Because of this, a home that can accommodate his preference for freedom rather than confinement will help him thrive. Alfredo was found as a stray, so much of his early history is unknown. He was slightly underweight when he arrived but is otherwise in good condition and doing well with consistent care and nutrition. Alfredo would do best in a patient, understanding home that will give him a little time to adjust and continue building his confidence. In return, he offers sweetness, companionship, and a loyal little shadow who just wants to be near you!

Breed overview
Overview:
The Paperanian, an endearing hybrid cross between the lively Papillon and the fluffy Pomeranian, is a relatively new designer breed gaining popularity. Originating from the desire to combine the best traits of its parent breeds, the Paperanian typically inherits a small stature, weighing between 3 to 7 pounds, with a playful and affectionate disposition. Their physical appearance varies but often includes the Papillon's alert, fringed ears and the Pomeranian's thick, double coat, which can come in a wide array of colors. Temperamentally, they are known for being intelligent, energetic, and eager to please, making them generally trainable. They adapt well to apartment living due to their size, though they do require regular exercise and mental stimulation. Paperanians are often good with families and gentle children, but early socialization is key. While generally healthy, potential health considerations include luxating patellas and dental issues, common in small breeds, so responsible breeding practices are crucial.
