His Story 

Meet Paulie, a 3-year-old Shih Tzu with a tender heart that’s been bruised by abandonment. Paulie was found tied to a fence, terrified and alone, and is now learning to feel safe again in the care of Famous Fido Rescue. He’s a sensitive soul who needs time, patience, and a lot of love to rebuild trust with people. Paulie would do best in an adult-only home, ideally as the only pet, where he can feel secure and heal at his own pace. While it may take time for him to let his guard down, with the right family, Paulie has the potential to blossom into a devoted companion.

His Sponsorship 

Paulie will need sponsoring for his daily care at the rescue, including for his food, housing, and medical care. Enrichment is also a very important part of his rescue journey, and he would love to receive care packages with toys and treats for comfort and for play. Bully sticks are especially great.

To send Paulie a care package, please see his wish list here:https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1511G2RYRF8K2?ref_=wl_share

Transparency in Adoption Fees: What Your Contribution Helps Cover

At Famous Fido Rescue, we believe in being transparent about our adoption fees and the important care they help provide. Each adoption fee covers essential health services to prepare animals for a safe and happy transition into their new homes. This includes spaying or neutering, which costs between $85 and $500 based on vet availability. While we aim to use low-cost clinics, busy schedules may lead us to private clinics to prevent delays in adoption. Vaccinations start at $45, with young animals often needing multiple rounds. We also provide microchipping, which can cost up to $80, to help ensure the safety of every animal. Additionally, fecal testing is performed at $50 per test, and for all our cats, we run FIV/FeLV testing at $55 to secure their health. Your adoption fee makes all this vital care possible, giving each animal the best start in their forever home.
