My name is Paulie!

Meet Paulie! He appears to be mostly Pyrenees, as he has the distinct double declaw of a Pyr on one back leg, but only a single declaw on the other.

We are guessing he’s between 1 and 1.5 years old.  He currently weighs about 70-75 pounds, which is a healthy weight for his size right now, although he may grow just a little more depending on how young he is.

Paulie is currently in a foster home with 6 other Great Pyrenees foster dogs, and he loves having other dogs that play with him.

He is mostly house trained, this is something that has been improving since he arrived at SPIN, and right now he can go for about 3-4 hours before he gets tempted to go in the house.

He loves to go outside for walks and loves going to dog parks to say hello to everyone and run and play with as many dogs as he can.

Paulie doesn’t appear to bark much, although this could change if he finds his voice and is in a different home. He is crate trained but is not a big fan of it, with lots of whining to remind you of that. He does ok in the car, he will jump up to go in, but he does get a little nervous in there and drools constantly while riding in the car.

He loves to be petted and will walk right up to any stranger he sees with a wagging tail and a head ready to be petted. He has a moderate amount of energy and would do well with long daily walks and/or a buddy to play with throughout the day. He would most likely struggle in an apartment setting, a house with a yard would be the best fit for him.

He does great with meeting new dogs and integrated into the pack very quickly when he arrived here.  He loves Nyla bones and lying next to his foster siblings. He can be a little growly and play just a little rough when he gets full of himself, but it's always playing, and he will back off if the other dog lets him know when he is being too much. He does not have any food aggression issues with people but will growl some if a dog gets close when he is eating.

Paulie loves everybody and just wants to say hi to the world and be everyone’s friend. He does well with kids and is gentle enough to let the kids come to him to pet him, despite his playful nature. Paulie would do well in any home but would do best in a home with other dogs he could play with.
