LIL SEBASTIAN

My story

Lil Sebastian has been in a shelter environment since March 2025, and he’s had a hard time adjusting to life behind kennel doors. He arrived at PAWS in May, and like so many sensitive dogs, he's been quietly trying to cope with the noise, stress, and unpredictability of shelter life. We don’t know what Seb’s life looked like before PAWS — but based on his behavior, we can guess that he hasn’t always been treated with kindness. He’s shy and avoidant at first, preferring to hang back and observe. He may not rush up to greet you, and he likely won't be the dog who catches your eye first… but give him a chance, and you’ll discover a truly special companion. With gentle patience, some kind words, and a few tasty treats, Lil Sebastian begins to let his walls down. He’ll tiptoe forward, slowly wag his tail, and eventually give in to the warmth of human connection. Once he realizes you’re safe to be around, he blossoms into a total sweetheart — a goofy, tail-wagging cuddlebug who rolls around, leans into pets, and shows you his playful side. Seb doesn’t need much — just a calm, loving environment where he can feel secure. Whether you're interested in fostering or adopting, you’ll be giving him the gift he’s waited so long for: a place where he can truly relax and be himself.
