Adoption
The Minnesota Wild adopted Paulie from Coco's Heart Dog Rescue, a local non-profit organization that rescues dogs from unfortunate situations.
Training
While under our care, Paulie will receive basic training from Wild staff preparing him for service training. Wild staff will also socialize Paulie by bringing him to public events.
Service Training
In the summer of 2026, the Wild will donate Paulie to Soldier's 6, a local non-profit that provides honorably discharged veterans and first responders who suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) a specially trained K-9. Paulie will complete a 4-6 month training and certification.
Forever Home
After the service training is complete and Paulie has received the proper certification, Soldier's 6 will place him with a deserving service member or first responder with PTSD at no cost to the recipient
