pabu

Pabu doesn't do anything halfway. Not her naps, not her love for the people she trusts, and not the joy she takes in destroying a toy down to its last thread of stuffing.

This 2-year-old, 49-lb spayed girl, is looking for a home that gets her, quirks and all.

Pabu is happiest on a trail or a long walk, and she lights up at the dog park with a game of fetch. She's food-motivated and easy to train, which makes her a quick study once she trusts you. But don't let the energy fool you: she's also a champion napper who's just as content curled up after a big day. Give her a hard bone or a toy she's allowed to rip apart, and she's set for hours.
With her people, and anyone she considers "familiar," she's affectionate, playful, and great with kids. She plays well with a lot of dogs and some cats too.

Pabu is a sensitive soul. She's reactive at fences, on leash, and in her crate, so she does best with a calm, structured routine and a little extra patience around those triggers. Meeting brand-new people works best done outside first before coming indoors together; once that intro happens the right way, she relaxes and warms up fast. She's had a couple of scuffles with other animals in high-stress or resource-guarding situations, so her ideal home is one with an adopter who has some dog experience, understands proper introductions, and can manage food and high-value items thoughtfully, whether she is the only pet or she's slowly and properly introduced to another animal.

Pabu isn't looking for a perfect home. She's looking for the right one: someone patient enough to learn her language, and ready for a dog who will love hard once she knows she's safe.
