Hello! My name is Messi. I am house trained and I am learning to be successfully crate trained. I am still learning manners, and I should be crated when you cannot supervise me. I have learned how to become comfortable here in my foster home. I really enjoy getting attention and being pet. I even like to snuggle. When strangers come to the house, I will let you know. When you say it’s ok, I am cautious but quickly warm up to them. 

I currently live with many dogs and there are several dogs in and out, as my foster dad is very experienced training dogs. I am friendly with other dogs as long as proper introductions are made. I have not met any cats, so I do not know how I feel about them. I don’t really care about toys. I do not know how to play fetch. Maybe you could teach me. We are working on my leash skills, as I pull a little. Foster dad has been helping me learn some commands. I am very food motivated, which makes training a lot easier. 

I would love to find a home with someone who is experienced with the German shepherd breed. Someone who understands positive reinforcement  training. I will thrive with someone who is patient, aware, consistent and kind. I did not have guidance as a pup and I am still learning. I am a sweet enthusiastic boy who needs a dedicated handler to continue my training. Could that be you?
