Pablo is a joyful, loving, very friendly puppy who is guaranteed to make you smile. Currently about 5 months old and weighing 42 lbs, Pablo is believed to be a doodle / Great Pyrenees mix, so he’s expected to grow into a large, fluffy, handsome boy. With that coat comes the need for regular grooming—and Pablo happily obliges, especially if belly rubs or brushing are involved! Pablo is house-broken and does all of his business outside like a champ. He sleeps in a kennel at night and when his foster family is out of the house. While he may protest a bit at first (a few puppy barks), he settles in quickly and does well. He’s used to being kenneled only a couple times a week for short periods (no more than 4 hours). True to his nickname, Pablo is your classic velcro pup—he loves to follow his people around and be their shadow, always nearby to check in and soak up affection. He’s playful and fun-loving and is all in for games like fetch, tug-of-war, and puppy romps. He also gets adorable zoomies, racing happily through the house before flopping down for a well-earned nap. Being a puppy, Pablo believes that anything left on the floor (especially shoes and slippers!) is fair game, so adopters should be prepared to puppy-proof and help guide him as he grows. He already knows how to sit and is very motivated by treats—especially ice cubes, which he thinks are the best reward ever. On leash, Pablo does great. He walks well, enjoys stopping to take in the scenery, and shows excellent manners when other dogs pass by—no barking, just tail wags and a big happy smile. While there are no resident dogs in his foster home, he’s been friendly with neighbors’ dogs and has shown no signs of aggression. A canine sibling would likely be a wonderful bonus for him, but it’s not a requirement. As for cats, he has not been exposed, so their compatibility is unknown. Because of his larger size and playful energy, Pablo would do best in a home with no small children. A fenced yard would be ideal to give him space to run and play, though he currently does just fine with leash walks. Pablo is used to having someone home most of the day, and given his young age, a home where he won’t be left alone for long stretches would be best for his continued confidence and development. Overall, Pablo is a fantastic, happy, affectionate puppy with so much love to give. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will follow you everywhere, play hard, cuddle harder, and grow into an amazing family dog—Pablo Escobark is ready to steal your heart.
