Meet the incredible Paulie! 🐶 This 5.5-year-old bundle of love weighs in at a solid 74 pounds and is ready to find his forever home. Now, let’s talk about Paulie’s journey. He came to K9.5 after tragically losing his beloved mom to cancer. Can you believe this brave boy once faced abuse? But don’t fret! He’s been showered with love, albeit a bit sheltered from the big wide world. You see, Paulie is a gentle soul with a heart that beats for kindness (albeit a bit shy when it comes to new people!). 😔 Okay, let’s get to the heart of the matter – Paulie is a *social butterfly in training*! 🦋 He absolutely adores his canine friends but prefers a buddy who’s calm yet playful. Paulie isn’t a fan of challengers, so a laid-back pup would bring him pure joy. Can you imagine their adventures? And guess what? He would feel so *lost* without a furry companion by his side! Now, about that fenced yard – it’s an absolute MUST! Paulie loves a safe place to romp around, but be prepared: he’s not the off-leash type! This handsome boy loves to explore, but he can get a little too adventurous if left to his own devices. 🚷 And let’s talk about grooming – low maintenance, folks! Just a few pets now and then, and he’ll be one happy pup. 🧼 As for his health, Paulie is anxiety-free (aside from his nervousness about meeting new people), and though he’s on medications, he might sail smoothly into a calmer state once he settles into his new home. And let’s sprinkle in some fun! Paulie possesses a glow that lights up a room, especially when he flashes that adorable little boy grin of his. 💖 He loves snuggles, treats (oh, he sits so nicely for those!), and of course, his favorite hangout spot – right in the middle of your bed! Seems like he’s got great taste! But let’s not forget – Paulie needs someone with experience. Understanding that he’s been through a lot emotionally is paramount. Patience, compassion, and a few meet-and-greets before transitioning to a new home will work wonders for this sweetheart. ❤ If you think you can provide him with the loving environment he deserves, don’t hesitate! Apply through the Buddy App to adopt Paulie and transform his world into the joyous adventure he dreams of! 🐾💞
