More Information:

PAULIE is a high energy, loving ball of fire and fun!  He's a Belgian Malinois with a gorgeous slender build and built for speed.  He loves playing ball in the yard and would LOVE to have a dad or mom who would take him on daily runs to wear off some of his energy.  He's still very much a puppy with puppy energy!

Other than his energy, he's a loving dog who adores his people.  With proper introductions, he does fine with most other dogs.  He's still at the "lunkhead" stage, which means he doesn't have all his manners down pat yet - he's still learning how to calm down in the house, how to play appropriately with other dogs without getting overly excited, etc.  But once he's fully trained on those scores and has matured a little bit more, Paulie is going to be one of the best ever dogs!   He's kind of a big goof and you can't help laughing at his antics!  Just look at that face - now really, doesn't he make you smile?  This boy is all about good times and lovin' up a storm.

Paulie needs an active family with a 6 ft privacy fence in their backyard!  This boy is so full of vim and vigor that he just needs room to run every day, in addition to daily walks.  His family need to be strong canine leaders in order to finish his training.  Once that is done, you'll have a dog who is loving, loyal and playful for life!

Paulie is fine with kids but could be quite rambunctious around small children and would need to be supervised in case someone was knocked over - the typical challenge when you have small kids and a large energetic dog.

STOP!! READ THIS BEFORE YOU GO ANY FURTHER!

1. We're picky about our adopters. 
2. Are you sure you're up to having a GSD?  They're not for everyone.  They take a lot of time, effort, training.  They shed year round.  They're big.  They scare lots of people.  They "mouth" and herd.  They're usually strong-willed and stubborn.  You have to have references and a home visit.  If you're not willing or able to deal with any of this, please don't waste your time or ours applying.  
   
3. Will the dog be an inside family pet? We do not adopt to outdoor-only homes. All dogs must be indoor dogs.
4. Do you leave your dog outdoors when you're not home?   We do not adopt to homes that leave their animals outside when they're gone.  You must put your dogs indoors when you're gone.  A 3 yr old adopted MOGS dog died when the owners went to run errands, left her outdoors, the gate was somehow opened, and she was hit by a car.  Tragic and 100% preventable. Even privacy fences get broken into.  Gates are opened.  Thieves steal dogs. Never leave your dog outdoors when you're not home!!
   
5. What's your plan for unexpected events and major changes?  New baby? Divorce?  Moving?   How you will provide for your dog if your family breaks up? 
   
6. Will you make a lifetime commitment?  It's your responsibility to keep your dog safe, loved and cared for FOR LIFE.
7.  Do you understand we expect you to keep that lifetime commitment?  It's YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to stick by your family member -- no matter what.
8. Are you unable or unwilling to make a lifetime commitment? Do not apply.
