My story

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

Totally guessing on the mix. He’s really part meatloaf part silver fox.
Uncle Paulie found himself in the shelter after his human was hospitalized and not expected to recover. He is deaf and has some vision impairment but manages to navigate the house and yard. He is good with everyone and he’s extremely easy going. He is on a diet and not happy about that. But he needs to lose some weight.

Shelter records say he had some breathing, possible heart issues but we immediately took him to our vet and they said he was fine. He just needed to lose weight and get a much needed dental. He had the dental and required 9 extractions. He was already missing 22 teeth. Needless to say, he needs soft food. But the good news is that his mouth doesn’t stink anymore.
