At 4 months old and 20 lbs, Papo is a handsome Sato puppy with a sweet personality and a fun, playful side that's starting to shine. Satos are Puerto Rican street dogs known for being intelligent, resilient, and incredibly loyal companions.

Papo can be a little shy when meeting new people, but it doesn't take long for his confidence to come out. Once he's comfortable, he loves to romp around the yard with other dogs, enjoys being held, and is always excited for treats, toys, and puzzle games that keep his smart little mind busy.

He's great with other dogs, does wonderfully with kids, and is making great progress with potty training. Papo is comfortable in both his crate and on a leash, though he's still learning the basics with each. He's a smart puppy who loves to learn and is eager to please.

Papo would love a family that will continue building his confidence while giving him plenty of playtime, cuddles, and opportunities to learn. With his gentle nature and affectionate personality, he's going to make a wonderful companion.

Papo is being fostered in Gambrills, MD.
