Ladies and gentlemen, meet Paco, a truly remarkable soul with a story that will tug at your heartstrings! 🎉 Born in October 2024, this handsome little fellow was pulled from the clutches of the euthanasia list at a shelter—imagine that journey! Now, we can only speculate why this lovably fragile heart is a bit mistrustful of humans. Perhaps he faced mistreatment or neglect, but fear not! With a sprinkle of love and patience, he’s on the mend! While Paco does have a tendency to react when crated, he’ll gently accept treats from anyone willing to show kindness. 🥰 Once out and about, he's a champ on the leash and is open to a few gentle pets from new friends. Although he adores his foster mom, he's still learning to embrace the world, displaying that classic tough-guy demeanor while he figures it all out. His protective instincts might come into play, so he may prefer a quieter home without a parade of new people. Over the past several weeks, he has made extraordinary strides in trusting humans! 🌈 With a caring adopter who is patient, confident, and won't shy away from Paco's playful shenanigans, he’ll become the perfect companion for life. Now, to ensure that this beautiful boy finds his forever home, we recommend a family of experienced dog owners who truly understand the nuances of his breed—and definitely no small children! Paco is looking for love within two hours of the Tri-County area, but we can make exceptions for dear seniors or those labeled as hard to place. Remember, if he is under three years old or has any health concerns, a vet reference is required. Adoption of this little angel comes with a fee of $440, covering a world of care—spay/neuter surgery, vaccines, microchip, heartworm testing and treatment if needed, plus any other medical care while in rescue. We want to make sure he gets the love he needs! 💖 And since Paco only makes his grand appearances on Saturdays, it’s essential to make arrangements to meet him if you have your eye on this charming boy. For all you animal lovers out there, applying for this sweet boy couldn't be easier—simply *apply through the Buddy App* to express your interest in adopting Paco! 🥳 Let’s transform this handsome heart from timid to treasured!
