My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Paulie, a 3-year-old Shih Tzu with a tender heart that’s been bruised by abandonment. Paulie was found tied to a fence, terrified and alone, and is now learning to feel safe again in the care of Famous Fido Rescue. He’s a sensitive soul who needs time, patience, and a lot of love to rebuild trust with people. Paulie would do best in an adult-only home, ideally as the only pet, where he can feel secure and heal at his own pace. While it may take time for him to let his guard down, with the right family, Paulie has the potential to blossom into a devoted companion.
