Paulo's Story

I am at Oakland Animal Services in kennel Dog Adoption:12Paulo is a sweet, affectionate, 2-year-old Pittie mix, who thrives on human connection and loves being close to his people. This 67-pound boy can start out a bit unsure, but quickly warms up with a soft approach, gentle handling, and treats. Once comfortable, he becomes very cuddly and seeks out lap time, pets, and reassurance.<br/><br/>He knows “sit,” is highly treat-motivated (especially for high-value rewards), and enjoys training games like touch and find-it. Paulo walks well on leash overall and checks in frequently with his handler, though he can get excited and jumpy when overstimulated or when greeting people.<br/><br/>In play and handling, he has shown himself to be very affectionate, social with people, and eager for attention. He does best with calm, consistent guidance and continued basic training.<br/><br/>Paulo will thrive in a home that can give him structure, patience, and plenty of affection—ideally with adopters comfortable managing a strong, enthusiastic, people-loving dog.
