Pauly

My story

Currently fostered in Texas. Pauly is approximately 2 to 3 years old and 8.7 pounds. He is timid when meeting new people for a short period and acts a little shy but very quickly warms up and acts like such a sweet baby boy. He is great with all other animals, due to his shy nature and instinct to run when he feels threatened, we ask no small young children under 8 years old. He will not bite a child he just would probably be very timid with a young hyper child. Once he comes out of his shell, though he is very funny and extremely playful. He plays a lot with the other dogs and loves toys. He is a gentle soul. He will walk on leash and harness wearily and nervously once he gets to know you but this has to be done with extreme caution as he is a nervous nelly in new situations. A fenced yard or fenced area to potty the first couple days to a week would be ideal however if that is not possible and he needs to be on a leash and harness we suggest using a leash and well fitted harness along side leash and collar so he is double protected if he tries to run. I promise he does warm up very quickly and becomes SUCH a mamas boy within a few days. He will need a belly band in the home until he is fully potty trained , however he never makes a mess in his kennel at night so I think potty training will be an easy task with love, kindness and patience. He has been through quite a lot and needs stability and love . I adore this kid and love his little stocky build 💕 Approved adopters please send your hold requests to the email you were given.
