Meet the charming Pau Pau, a delightful 9-10 year old Lab Mix with a heart as big as his appetite! 🐶 This special boy has come a long way since his days as a stray in Texas, where he tipped the scales at a whopping 114 pounds. Thanks to his dedicated foster, this lovable canine has trimmed down to about 60 pounds—healthy and ready to find his forever home! 🎉 Now, let's talk about Pau Pau's unique journey. 🏃‍♂️ A true survivor, this handsome guy conquered distemper, and while it left him with some roughness in his breathing, he's just as playful and loving as can be! Expect short strolls, delightful sniffing adventures, and a gentle spirit with a knack for calm companionship. 🌳💖 Since Pau Pau isn’t training for the Olympics, long romps are not his style; he prefers quality over quantity when it comes to walks. Pau Pau’s love for food is legendary! 🍗 With a bottomless stomach, he will need a owner who can keep him on track with healthy treats and snacks—consider this your pet parenting adventure! His incredible journey is proof that you can teach an old dog new tricks; he knows "sit," "down," and is mastering the "place" command with gusto. All he needs are some tasty treats and a little patience! 🥳 As for his ideal home, Pau Pau would thrive in a low-key environment. Although he has lived with teenagers and young kids, he might be best suited for a home with older children who understand his quirks. He does love his furry pals too! This gentle giant currently shares his foster home with three other friendly dogs, and they all get along swimmingly. 🐾 However, it’s important to note that he can be a tad reactive when meeting new people, especially men. Patience and a few treats during introductions will help him feel at ease. His tail is always ready to wag, just waiting for those perfect moments to light up the room! 🔄 Pau Pau is currently being fostered in Delmar, MD, and while he doesn’t require a fenced yard, he would adore living in an environment that supports his medium energy level and allows him to thrive.
