Is That an Ewok from Star Wars or a Dog Spotted in Tuscaloosa?

Meet Paddington, B101.7's Pet of the Week with the Humane Society of West Alabama!

Some say she looks like an Ewok from Star Wars, others will say the star of the movie, Because of Winn Dixie. One thing is for sure, this lovable dog is available for adoption!

Paddington is a 5 month old female Terrier mix. However, the Humane Society doesn't truly know what mix she is, but she seems like a really fluffy German Shepherd due to her coloring, black muzzle and legs/paws seeming like a shepherd; but then there is all that hair! Or maybe a big Cairn Terrier. She is a true mystery mix!

This dog weighs about 20 pounds now and will get much bigger, probably around 40 to 50 pounds.

Paddington was pulled from our local animal shelter, where she was picked up by Animal Control as a stray and went unclaimed/unadopted after several weeks. Paddington is a super-friendly, sweet, carefree puppy. As with any other puppy, she will need training and structure to help her develop into a well-mannered adult dog.

Paddington loves to play and seems to do well with other dogs. She should be fine around children ages 10 and older. She might be too big for an apartment and will require a fenced in yard if left outside unattended. Paddington has a slight limp on one of her back legs where it was previously broken, but it has healed up. It doesn't bother her and the vet determined it has healed up strong enough on its own.

The Humane Society has started her crate training. Paddington has had two rounds of puppy shots, dewormer, her rabies vaccine, is spayed and microchipped. She is on heartworm and flea/tick prevention.

Paddington is just a big bundle of fluffy fun looking for a real home and family!
