12/29/12 Paulie arrived here last night and is a real sweetheart- quiet, affectionate, no problems with the other dogs and ignores the cats so far. He can walk, including going uphill and down, but not fast, and cannot really do stairs yet, or jump into cars, etc, although I’m sure he’ll be more mobile in time. He was ok closed in the kitchen at night and being left in the house for a couple of hours this morning. He has attached himself very quickly to me and tries to keep me in sight as I walk around the house doing errands.
We have several applications on him already, but he is clearly still in recovery and should have a special home. We would prefer a home which is basically on one level so he doesn’t need to contend with stairs on a regular basis, and would prefer a place where someone is home with him at least part of the day.
Paulie is a beautiful black & white border collie mix who came into the shelter with a severe leg injury which required amputation (see video below). He also has a scar on his back from asnother injury, possibly a burn.
Notes from the shelter: Paul is doing well and is a quick learner to managing on 3 legs. He is a great boy. Very very sweet natured and excellent with kids and other dogs. He was very interested in cats initially (wanting to make them run) but he has been corrected several times and is very quick to learn.
