Pawpaw

Meet Pawpaw, a laid-back and lovable one-year-old Labrador Retriever and Pit Bull mix from Ripley, TN, whose easygoing nature and gentle soul make him a one-of-a-kind companion. With his big paws and even bigger heart, this mellow pup has the spirit of an old soul wrapped up in a playful puppy body.

Pawpaw isn’t one to get overly excited—he prefers to take life as it comes, always patient, always calm. While his littermates might be busy romping around, he’s the pup who will sit back, take it all in, and wait for his turn to be showered with love. And when that moment comes? He soaks it up like pure sunshine!

Pawpaw is incredibly sweet and affectionate, always happy to lean in for pets and belly rubs. He’s vaccinated and already learning basic commands like sit and stay, and with his attentive and willing nature, he’s sure to pick up on more with ease. He gets along well with other dogs and young children, making him a fantastic fit for a loving family that appreciates his relaxed, go-with-the-flow attitude!

In colder weather, Pawpaw has shown a little sensitivity to dry skin, but he does great with occasional tea tree oil baths to keep his coat soft and itch-free. A family that continues this small act of care will keep him feeling his best.

Though he’ll grow into a strong and sturdy pup, Pawpaw is as gentle as they come. His ideal home is one where he can be loved and cared for just as much as he loves in return. Could this sweet, mellow pup be the perfect addition to your family? If so, reach out today and bring this easygoing sweetheart into your life!
