Meet Pauly, the adorable 3-year-old Lhasa Apso/Shih Tzu mix whose charm will steal your heart! ❤️ Weighing in at just 11 lbs, this little guy is a brave warrior who once roamed the streets as a stray before entering a shelter. While he was a bit of a drama king there (who could blame him?), he transformed into a calm cuddle buddy once he found his way into our loving care. 🌈 Pauly may be shy and a tad protective around new faces—especially with some men—but with patience and understanding, he opens up beautifully. He prefers the company of other small dogs and absolutely thrives when he has a furry friend by his side! 🐾 One of his favorite pastimes is a spirited game with soft toys—nothing too rough, please, he’s a gentle soul! This little lover is happiest when he can bond one-on-one, so a calm and experienced home would be a perfect fit for him. Please remember, while he loves people, he wouldn't be suited for a home with children or inexperienced handlers; he needs someone who speaks ‘dog’ fluently! 🐕 This sweet boy would truly blossom in a home where he can cuddle up with his buddies and feel safe. So why not make your heart and home a little warmer with Pauly? You can bookmark his adorable profile in the Buddy App to check back on his journey and see if he’s the perfect match for you! 🥳✨ To adopt Pauly and bring joy and a wagging tail into your life, please apply through the Buddy App!
