After Paulie's former owner was arrested, he was left alone hooked to a chain and living on top of a heap of trash. With the aid of the Wheeler Co. Sheriff's Dept, Scott Bennett was able to rescue Paulie from his horrible living conditions. After being released from jail, his former owner made numerous threats against Scott and SoCo Rescue, demanding the return of his dog, but Scott stood his ground and, again with the backing of the sheriff's department, Paulie remained with our rescue. Paulie was found to be heartworm positive and has since been treated for them.

Paulie has been such a joy to have at our rescue. He's a very happy, well-socialized dog who loves to run and play. He's gotten along great with other dogs and loves interacting with people. He has a lot of energy and will do very well with an active family and at a home that allows his room to run and play. He's also very affectionate. Despite his harsh and cruel former life, Paulie has grown into such a wonderful dog who simply loves life!

Paulie has been fully vetted, kept up to date on his monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. While he is accustomed to staying in a crate he will need additional house training.
