My story begins  as a stray in North Carolina where I was picked up by a local shelter. I was real ly scared, feeling all alone without being able to give anyone my kisses . Along came my foster mommy from VGSR,  who took me into her home so I wouldn't be afraid anymore. 

I am believed to be the perfect mix of German  Shepherd/ Malinois!   I am a puppy with some pup energy but if you get me a trainer I will show you how smart  I really am.  I have only been with my foster mommy for a short time and she has taught me  how to sit. We are  working on down and wait . I’ve almost got it!  I  am doing  pretty well  with  potty  training but will need consistency as I am still learning. I am working on my leash manners  but sometimes I just can’t help myself when I get excited. I am really good about taking treats from your hand gently and I am not possessive of my food. 

I  get along great with dogs. I have a neighbor who takes her doggies for a walk, I love it because I walk with the “Big” dogs. My foster mom  has an  old grumpy 4 legged creature with little beady eyes, small ears,  and a long tail, she calls it a cat. The little creature  does not like to play with me, I do play rough.  I’d probably be happiest in a home with no kitties 

 I love to snuggle and give lots of kisses while you hug me.   even when I’m grown I want to be your snuggle buddy and lay on your lap.  When it is bedtime, I go into the crate, not my favorite thing to do, but I know it is time for bed. I sleep  through the night and in the morning I am ready to  potty and have breakfast. If you think I sound as fantastic as my foster mom says I am and your an approved adopter, send my foster mom a message  lyssa.westhoff@gmail.com
