Paulie is very friendly with the other dog in his home. The both have to say hi to any dog they see during walks. Paulie is friendly with people, but still a little leery of men, and he has been great with his foster mom’s 15 month old niece. Yay!
Paulie is not toy aggressive, and loves to play tug-of-war with his rope toy. He tends to be vocal when he hears the front door and other minor noises. Although, he is affectionate, he still ducks at first when you go to pet him.
Paulie is crate trained and knows some of his commands like sit, lie down and stay. Some of them are still being worked on, but he is a quick learner.
Paulie’s foster mom, Courtney says the following?
“You have to practically drag him out the door for a walk, we wait a while for him to come out when Adrienne is already out the door. He usually ignores wildlife while outside, but if anything is close and Adrienne is in prey mode, Paulie will copy her and lunge, but this is rare.
Paulie loves to sleep on the floor next to the stove, this seems to be his favorite spot. At night he sleeps in his crate, and he naps where ever he wants during the day.
Paulie would be great in a loving home that know Shiba’s. Someone that understands he will take a while to get used to a new environment. He likes to chew books, which is a new thing, so we are working on correcting this behavior.”

Any idea when Paulie will be available?
Paulie is being neutered this week, so once he recovers he will be available for adoption. Probably the 2nd week of August. If you haven’t already done so, please fill out an adoption application found here: http://nycshibarescue.org/adopting-a-shiba
You guys have had my application for months…I talked a while ago (maybe a few months or so) to Molly and she told me to go ahead and fill out the application so that you would have it on file for the future. If you don’t still have it let me know and I can fill it out again. I sure do think he’s adorable!!!!
Is there any way to find out where my name is on the list of people interested in him?
