My story

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

Hi! I’m Pauline 🐾
I’m 100% puppy—happy, playful, inquisitive, and a total cuddle bug. The moment you sit on the floor, I’ll happily back myself right into your lap (you’ve been warned!). If laps aren’t available, I’ll settle for sitting on your foot while you do the dishes. I really love my people and want to be close to them as much as possible.

My days are filled with early mornings, lots of playtime with toys and my puppy siblings before relaxing in my x-pen while my foster heads to work. I get along well with other dogs, though I sometimes let my siblings boss me around, so I need some help working on my confidence. I definitely prefer people over pups. If I have a fur sibling, I'd ask they be mellow to match my gentle energy. I’m still learning all my puppy manners—I’m not house trained yet and will need crate training, guidance with chewing, and help learning not to nip. With patience, love, and plenty of cuddles, I’ll be the most loyal little sidekick you could ask for 💕
