📍 Location: Lexington, SC
🐶 Name: Paulo
🎂 Age: ~1.5 years (DOB ~12/25/23)
🐕 Breed: 40% Australian Cattle Dog • 40% American Bully • 10% Beagle • 10% Labrador Retriever (DNA tested!)
⚖️ Weight: ~48 lbs – sleek and solid black
♂️ Sex: Male
💉 Vetting: Neutered, microchipped, dewormed, heartworm negative, UTD on rabies, DHLPP & Bordetella, plus flea/heartworm prevention
🐕🐈👶 Good with: Dogs ✅ Cats ✅ Kids ✅
🏠 House/crate trained: Yes!
✨ Personality:
Paulo is a happy, high-energy sweetheart who loves to play, explore, and be part of the action. He walks nicely on a leash, adores dog friends, takes treats gently, and gives the best cuddles once he’s gotten his zoomies out. He’d do best with a secure fenced yard so he can safely run off his energy.
💔 Why He’s Looking for a New Home:
Paulo was originally adopted and later returned after a truly heartbreaking accident. While he was confined with another dog in a very small pen, a cat somehow got inside. In a tragic moment of confusion and play instinct, the dogs pulled the cat as if it were a toy. There was no intent to harm—just a terrible accident that should never have been possible with proper containment.
His previous owner understands it wasn’t his fault but couldn’t emotionally move past the trauma of finding her cat that way. Before & Since then, Paulo has lived peacefully with other cats, dogs, and children without issue.
Paulo deserves a fresh start with a family who understands how wonderful and loving he truly is. ❤️
