My story

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

Fostered in SE Michigan
Fenced yard required

This handsome boy is ready for his forever home where he can settle in and get all the love and attention he deserves. Pauly was found as a stray and spent some time with animal control until he was liberated by CRGI. This charming boy has a gentle disposition and a heart full of love. Pauly is a true snuggle bug. He thrives on being close to his people.

He enjoys playing fetch although he might need a little reminder to bring the ball back! He loves balls, stuffed animals, and chew sticks. At times he has bursts of energy, especially when welcoming guests into the home.

Pauly knows several commands including sit and shake, and he has good recall. He walks well on a leash and does much better when not walking with another dog.

He gets along well with his Golden Retriever foster brother, but his play can be a bit rough. This usually happens when Pauly is overstimulated, and his foster is working on this with him. He's smart and can be easily redirected with treats. However, no amount of treats will help him get along with cats, so a feline free household is a must.

Pauly experiences some separation anxiety. While he doesn’t destroy things when left alone, he does get nervous and would do best in a home where someone is often around.

Pauly needs a home where his new family will continue to help him learn to settle and relax. He is very trainable and food motivated. A family that understands his need for closeness and can provide him with the comfort and stability he craves would be perfect.

If you're looking for a loyal and loving companion, Pauly could be the perfect addition to your home. Give this sweet boy a chance, and he'll reward you with endless affection and devotion.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info
