He has not met a human he did not like. He thrives off of human attention and loves quality time cuddling on the couch or just being by your side. He is a great supervisor. He is a couch potato but gets spurts of energy and is always up for a walk. Paulie is extremely smart and picks up tricks and training so fast! He is food motivated so training has been easy. He loves treats and is gentle 90% of the time (10% when he is super excited he grabs quick, but not 'biting quick'). Paulie also loves breakfast and dinner time, so his day revolves around meal time. Paulie can be mischievous so when he's unattended he needs to be in his crate to keep him safe. He loves chasing squirrels in the backyard, and the occasional zoomie run around the yard too! Paulie is a big love bug and just wants to be your best friend. He loves his spot on the couch looking out the window keeping an eye on the neighborhood for Squirrel Patrol. Paulie does get overstimulated with new experiences, so a routine and slowly introducing him to different things works best.To be considered for adoption, you must apply using our free, online application.
