Paulie came from the City of Buffalo Animal Shelter, where he was just breaking down tremendously. He's a 76lb shy boy who needs confidence building and time to to understand that the world isn't a scary place. We are unsure of his history, but he's a smart boy who loves his people. Once he trusts you, you are his world. He doesn't need a crate, he's housetrained and working on leash skills. He's a strong boy who just needs an owner who will go slow with him and build a trusting bond. He has been great with visitors in his foster home. Once he has a few minutes, you can find him with his head in your lap. He is also great around the toddler grandson.
