Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hello, My name is Paul, I’m actually named after the late greatest actor of our generation… Paul Walker. I was rescued from the street in front of my foster’s home where I was in danger of being hit by multiple cars. People tell me that I’m between a year or two old, but I am very much still a puppy and am very excitable. My coat is mostly a very even brown that has a few areas on my head and chest of white. I’m about 50 pounds, but I will probably gain a little weight as I was very underweight when originally found. My ears have been cropped by my previous owner and I have amber colored eyes. I enjoy eating anything really and I can be very food motivated, I haven’t really been eating anything special, but I love any treats that come my way. I am extremely friendly to everyone I’ve met, other dogs, people, I’m just excited to have any kind of attention. I have a ton of energy when my owner comes home, but I settle down and like to relax during the evening by laying in my kennel and chewing on a bone. My perfect day would start with a morning walk around the neighborhood, I love to do anything athletic to get my energy out, so hiking, running, playing in the park… anything you want to do. I love going for rides in the car, so we can go anywhere you want, I just love fresh air. After getting my energy out, I’m very content sitting next to the couch and chewing on any of my toys, my favorite toys are the toughest ones and bones. Right now, I’ve been working on learning a few tricks and I’ve mastered sit and shake, I’m currently working on lay down and stay. I haven’t had a lot of training, but I am extremely patient and I am very eager to please. I can’t really think of anything that scares me (we haven’t had any thunderstorms lately, so I can’t remember if they bother me or not). When I see something in the yard from the window, I’ll bark, but I’m not scared. As far as cats go, I’m very curious about them and I have tried to get one to play on occasion, but if they aren’t interested I tend to give them some space. Instead of playing with the cat, I always play with my other dog friends (I have one at home and very routinely play with others). We get along great, and one of my favorite things to do is play tug-of-war with my roommate. As far as where I’d like to live, I can’t say it really matters… wherever I can get the attention and exercise I enjoy, I’ll be happy. When I was rescued from the street, I was very under weight and my health was suffering. Since then, my vet has given me excellent care and my foster has helped me gain enough weight to regain my health. I currently do not have any health issues and I have been living at my foster home for about a month. I live with my foster dad, his dog, and his roommate. I’m close to my foster dad, but I also love hanging out with his roommate. When I am home alone, I stay in a crate in the living room where I like to relax and chew on my toys. In the evenings I’ll also relax in my crate since it’s very comfortable, but when it’s time for bed I usually sleep at the foot of my fosters bed where I am well behaved through the night and wouldn’t dream of waking anyone up in the middle of the night(or too early in the morning). I really enjoy my foster home because I get a lot of attention, my fosters make sure that I’m always part of any activity. They make sure that while I’m involved, it’s also a learning experience and I appreciate everything they’ve done for me(especially the getting me off the street part). Before my foster let me in his home, I was just wandering the neighborhood. Before that, I honestly can’t remember what happened, but I appreciate all the help people have given me to help me get on my feet. Now I just need a loving home to call my own.
Even Chance does not operate on a first come, first serve basis. In most cases we have already decided the type of home and owner we want for our dogs. These opinions are based on the temperament tests we perform prior to accepting the dog into our program and the behaviors the dogs display as they spend time in our homes. Our agency reserves the right to deny acceptance of any dog to an owner who we feel the lifestyle does not match that of the dog. We are in no way judging you or your lifestyle; we simply want to put our dogs in the best living situation possible. We take very seriously the decision we make when it comes to placing one of our dogs in a forever home. If I sound like the perfect pit bull for your family and you are interested in offering me a forever home, please do not hesitate to fill out an application here and my foster family will contact you to schedule an in-person meet and greet. We look forward to meeting any and all interested applicants.
