Pauley

Hi there! I’m Pauley, your future 10-pound companion who believes that love is the only compass you really need.<br/><br/>At 11 years young, I’m a mature Maltese gentleman whose eyes might be cloudy (I’m about 95% blind and can only see shadows), and my hearing isn’t what it used to be either (I can only hear clicks). But don’t let that fool you - I’ve got this life thing figured out! I’m your ultimate kitchen assistant (especially when treats are involved) and I’m a smart cookie who’s already mapped out my foster home and how to get to the back door and grass. I’ll bark to let you know when I need to go out or when it’s dinner time!<br/><br/>I get along with other dogs — there are several in my foster home and I do just fine. I haven’t met a cat yet but if they are dog-savvy and gentle then we could probably be friends. I’m very friendly to all humans but no small kids (older kids 12 and up would be fine).<br/><br/>Now, I do have some preferences! I like my independence and prefer to sleep on a cozy blanket on the floor in the living room rather than on couches. At night, I sleep in my people’s room in my bed (an pen works great - I’m not a fan of crates). I’m not much of a cuddler or a toy player, but my favorite hobby is EATING! LOL. My four remaining teeth work just perfectly so don’t hold anything back!<br/><br/>I’m about 95% housebroken when you’re persistent with taking me out on a regular schedule. I wear a belly band when my people aren’t home and at night, just to be safe. I prefer not to ride in the car, but I do love getting out for walks and sniffing the beautiful world on my own schedule - going out, eating, and napping are my ideal day!<br/><br/>I need someone who is home a lot and can give me the consistent routine I thrive on. I’m proof that the most beautiful souls sometimes come in packages that need a little extra TLC and understanding. Could you be my patient, loving companion? I promise to be your loyal shadow! <br/><br/>Apply here: www.floridacockerrescue.org. <br/>ADOPTION FEE: $295
