Rescue Story
Pavi first appeared as a stray at a school. The students quickly fell in love with him and cared for him, and before long, he had made the school his home. He is now safe and ready to find a family of his own.
With People
Pavi is a sweet and affectionate puppy who generally enjoys meeting people, including strangers. He often approaches for attention and pets and can be very cuddly.
At the same time, Pavi does have a sensitive side. Even while seeking affection, he may startle and move away if someone standing over him approaches or reaches for him too quickly. He is particularly sensitive to loud human voices, and if a new person frightens him, he may keep his distance afterward. Calm, gentle introductions and allowing him to approach at his own pace are the best way to build his trust.
Pavi has been very good with children under 13. He can be picked up with an arm under his belly, although being carried isn’t his favourite thing. What he does love is using someone’s arm as a pillow! When he’s feeling especially comfortable, he may even show his belly to someone he has just met.
With Dogs
Pavi readily approaches unfamiliar dogs to say hello and sniff them, although he doesn’t necessarily start playing right away. Once he knows another dog well, though, he can become their little shadow and loves staying close to his canine friends.
He tends to feel intimidated or uncomfortable around larger dogs and generally prefers dogs around his own size or smaller. Very high-energy dogs can also be overwhelming for him. If another dog challenges or pressures him, Pavi usually chooses to avoid the situation rather than engage.
With Cats
Pavi currently lives with a cat and has been doing so for about two months. Overall, they get along very well. When Pavi gets excited and playful, however, he will occasionally chase the cat in an attempt to play, which the cat doesn’t always appreciate.
On walks, he may stop and watch cats out of curiosity, but he can be redirected and will continue walking when guided by his handler.
Energy Level
Pavi is still a puppy, so he has plenty of playful energy! He loves wrestling and playing with the resident dog and sometimes tries to initiate chase games with the cat. He also enjoys tearing apart toys and may occasionally chew on furniture, so he will need appropriate chew toys, enrichment, and enough daily physical activity. Once his energy needs are met, he settles down nicely and rests.
Walking
Pavi has plenty of walking experience and generally walks very nicely without pulling. He follows his handler well and isn’t particularly bothered by everyday outdoor noises.
When a car passes quickly, however, he may stop and wait rather than continue walking. It’s best to give him a moment instead of pulling him forward, as he tends to brace himself if pressured.
Because Pavi has a sleek coat and can slip out of a harness easily, he is currently walked with a secure martingale collar.
Other Behaviours
Pavi may resource guard certain high-value treats from other dogs by growling if they come too close. He may also growl at a dog that persistently bothers him or makes him uncomfortable, and if his warnings are ignored, he may eventually give a loud bark. He has never bitten another dog. He does not show this behaviour toward people and allows people to take things away from him.
He is generally very quiet, although he may give a few alert barks when he hears an unfamiliar sound.
Pavi is still working on crate training and currently may whine when crated. He also experiences significant motion sickness in the car and may drool or vomit, so he is typically crated for car rides and does best traveling on an empty stomach.
Pavi currently does his potty outdoors.
Pavi is a cheerful, affectionate and playful young pup with a gentle, sensitive side. He would thrive with a family who can give him plenty of fun and activity while also understanding when he needs a little patience and space.
