Update adopted!!
Meet Ralphie, the sweetest papillon with the biggest brown eyes that tell you he is a gentle soul. He just turned 4 years old. Ralphie found himself in need of a new home after his owner died. He is a drop eared papillon called a phalene. He is a gentle loving soul and wants to be with his people. He is a quiet couch potato and loves to lay up next to you. He responds to praise and tries to figure out the house rules. He is great with grooming and nails. He doesn’t need a lot of exercise and would be content to be walked a few times a day. Ralphie also is a quiet dog not barking much. He seems to prefer women and would do best in a quiet home. He is an oversized papillon which will happen occasionally ( 15” at shoulder) . He wears a belly band but has done well on house breaking since he is not a marker. Vetting has been done: HW negative , vaccines, blood work, and a dental. If you can give this wonderful dog the forever home he deserves, please apply for him on our website PapAdopters.com.

Update adopted!
Who has a white tail, wet, shiny black nose, hops or runs around when not situated on a lap? You guessed it……..LUKE! A sweet, neutered papillon with an awesome personality. He is 6 1/2 years old and lost his home when his owner died. He come with an overloaded bag of good behaviors that will continue to amaze you.
No dog is perfect, but this one comes close. No need to wonder where he is, he will be on your lap. Once he meets a cat, he ignores it. Truly. And he considers any human his new best friend. Grooming is also high on his list while exhibiting perfect behavior.
“Get Busy” is a new phrase he is learning. He wants to discard his belly band so he can move into the class known as housebroken.
This dearest of dear dogs deserves a place in your heart and home. This from his foster mom, who will never forget his boy. I cherish all he taught me and will remember him as an awesome experience.
If you would like to give this wonderful boy a forever home , please submit an application on our web site PapAdopters.com.

Update adopted!
Soon to be available so please spread the word about this sweet guy
Einstein is as smart as his name ! He just turned 4 years old and found himself in need of a new home when his owner died and is one of the four recently into rescue. He is a loving boy and tries to please. He is equally happy to sit on your lap, sit next to you on the couch or lay at your feet on his mat. He loves retrieving toys which makes it easy to exercise him. He would be a great partner doing agility or other dog sports. He is dog friendly , walks on a leash and loves to meet people on his walks. He sleeps in a crate at night without a p*ep. He is unknown with cats or small children. He wears a belly band in the house and is done well with house breaking by taking him out frequently. He is neutered, normal blood work and had a dental. If you think you’d love a new devoted companion and continue his house breaking , please submit an application. We can help with transportation if needed. If interested, please fill out an application on our website PapAdopters.com.

It is with great sorrow that we announce our sanctuary dog, Sidney was laid to rest today. Sidney was loved. He will be missed terribly. We know he will be greeted at the rainbow bridge by all the rescue papillons that passed before him. We love you Sid.

Do you have an empty lap?

This is Joy she needs a home for the rest of her retirement years
Her 1st owner died during Covid Now her second owner has cancer

Joy is a senior papillon. If you look up the definition of ‘lap dog’ you will see her picture. She loves nothing more than to share the recliner, with occasional forays into lap or shoulder snuggles/cuddles. At night, she camps out on the bed, ready to alert her person of any intruders. Her new bed steps making access to her bedmate easier.

In her prior life she was strictly an indoor dog who used p*e pads. She has since learned what grass is and is learning to potty outside too. Joy is not too fond of story weather and will look out the door: “Nope, not happening.” Joy gets excited and does a happy dance when she does #2 outside as she knows she will get a good girl treat when she gets inside. Speaking of treats, she loves to sneak and eat paper. She is a tissue bandit and does not want to share. I have recently given her empty toilet paper rolls and she is like “What? I can have this and you not trying to take it away?! What’s the fun in that?” She enjoys blueberries and watermelon.

Joy is not one for walks, but she is learning to explore her yard. She loves meeting people but does not want to encounter other dogs. “What are those creatures?” She avoids other dogs, so she needs to be the only dog. She will also avoid cats. Having lived with old ladies, she is more companion than dog. Fetch? Huh? Like most senior ladies, she could lose few pounds, so she is not judgy of her people.

Joy has no prey drive and could care less about the squirrels running by on the deck. But she will alert her person to company. Otherwise she is quiet. She is in Wisconsin.

Hi, I'm Cody and I'm 10 years young!

My birth certificate says I'm a full-bred Papillion, but everyone knows I'm 100% spoiled. And while I've never met a stranger, I don't wanna go to just any home (a dog's gotta have standards, you know). So what does THE perfect home look like? Well, that's a GREAT question 🙂

-First thing's first. I am a lap dog so I'll need one of those to snuggle up on a LOT. Turn on your favorite movie and grab enough popcorn for both of us.
-You might also notice I'm missing an eye. But don't feel sorry for me or treat me like I have a handicap. I'll find my way even if it takes a little longer than "normal".
-I love long walks and even longer rides in the car. I am easy on a leash. Let's go for a hike!
-I love people of all sizes, young and old. But big dogs? Yeah, they make me nervous.
-I grew up around cats and would love another small dog to play with.
-I don't at all mind water, but will need plenty of room for my post-bath ZOOMIES (trust me, you're gonna want your camera close by...you're welcome!)

Above all, I just want a stable home full of LOVE and LAUGHTER. If that's you, don't be afraid to make the first move...I won't bite (although you will get endless kisses).

Let's do this!!!!!!!

ADOPTED!

UPDATE: We are pausing applications on Ruby, we have received numerous and are currently working thru. She is a lovely girl and we appreciate all those willing to step up to give her a furever home.

Meet Ruby, a sweet 6 year old papillon/long hair chihuahua mix located near Cincinnati, Ohio.
Ruby found herself at a shelter when her owner passed away and family couldn’t keep her. She is a bit shy when she first meets new people but quickly warms up to anyone willing to pet her and give her a lap to sit in. As a matter of fact, she is pretty insistent about the petting part, she will gently tap you on the arm or hand to remind you that she’s there and waiting for your pets. Ruby is the ultimate lap dog and has never used a leash so she’ll do best with a fenced yard where she can go potty and someone who will patiently help her to learn to expand her world on leash. She is crate trained (or will stay in an expen)and is a quiet little girl. She is living with other small dogs and a cat in her foster home and gets along well with them all but really doesn’t interact with them much, she prefers the attention of the humans in the house so she would be fine with or without other dogs in the home. She is currently fostered in Ohio. If you think you could give Ruby a comfy lap to sit in please fill out an application at https://papadopters.com/papillon-adoption-application/?mibextid=Zxz2cZ

Misty currently has an application for adoption. We will repost her if the adoption doesn’t go through.
Look at Misty’s sweet face! She is a puppy mill survivor spending her first eight years in the chicken coop. Misty is looking for a forever home with someone who has had experience with puppy mill dogs. Misty gets along with other small dogs and will do best in a home with at least one other dog. Misty will need a secure, fenced yard because she has been known to climb out of a doggy X – pen. Misty has some separation anxiety, so would do best with someone who is home most of the time. But that also means she is capable of forming a close bond with her human. If you have room in your heart and patience to help Misty feel secure and loved please make an application for her.
Misty is has an application for adoption. If she is not adopted we will repost her as available.

--Very Important reminder from a Foster Home--
Do you know that Montgomery County in NY is one of counties with the most puppy mills in the state? I am currently fostering a female dog who spent almost 10 years in a tiny small chicken coop being bred for her puppies year after year...she is sweet and gentle, has never growled or snapped, yet she is afraid to be petted and won't eat if someone is near her. She is afraid to walk on grass because it feels strange on her feet...her canine teeth are missing, probably pulled "in case" she might bite...she doesn't know how to walk on a leash and is scared of having a collar on her... These are just a few of the issues we are trying to over come after 10 years of abuse. PLEASE DONT BUY A PUPPY FROM PUPPY MILLS AS IT ONLY PERPETUATES THE SUFFERING OF THE PARENTS! If the price of a pup seems too good to be true ("they only wanted X # of dollars for him!") then the pup probably came from a puppy mill, especially if the sellers won't show you the parents, the kennels (cages) where their dogs are kept, and they have multiple breeds ...please get a pup from reputable breeder, or better yet adopt a dog from a rescue group!
Please share!
