Well hello! Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Paul and I came to the shelter as a stray. My paw pads had boo boos on them and I was in a lot of pain. The nice veterinary staff cleaned up my wounds and told me that I needed to rest for a few days in my kennel. I took their advice and used that time to catch up on my sleep. Now, my paws are good as new and I am ready to find my forever home.
Here’s what you should know about me. I am young, about a year old. I am a playful boy so I get to participate in the shelter playgroups with other dogs. I love to play with other dogs, so if you have a playful canine companion and you are looking to add another canine companion to your family, I’m your guy! I take corrections well from other dogs, so I will let your dog be the boss. I am a medium sized boy with really soft fur. I like affection and attention from my human friends. I haven’t been cat tested so if you have a kitty, just ask the nice people at the shelter to cat test me.
My life thus far has been pretty tough, but I harbor no ill feelings. That’s my past it doesn’t have to be my present or my future. This time around I want to be adopted by a person or people committed to caring for me and loving me forever. I will certainly return that love and care, and I will show my gratitude every day.
