Pawlie came from a tough situation in Buffalo and is still learning the world isn't so scary. At 76 lbs, he's a large, shy boy who needs patient confidence-building but craves companionship and security. Once he lets his guard down, he's loyal and wants nothing more than to rest his head in your lap. Pawlie is a smart dog—he doesn't need a crate, is fully house trained, and continues to improve his leash skills. Visitors are greeted with gentle curiosity. Give him a few minutes and he'll choose your company every time. Pawlie has also done well around a toddler in his foster home, showing a soft spot for kids and people alike. He needs an adopter who will go at his pace, foster trust, and help him grow. If you're looking to bond with a grateful, gentle companion, Pawlie is waiting in Buffalo, NY.
