Story
Hello there, my name is Gage! I came to MVPC from a 3 strikes and you're out family. First strike, they kept me outside in a kennel my whole life where I caught a couple different parasitic infections. Second strike, they taught me nothing. Third strike, they weren't very nice to me. Thank goodness I wound up here!
I'll be honest with you, I'm a high energy work in progress. Luckily, I'm also a smart guy who wants to please you. I just have a lot to learn, and I got started a little late. I am super sweet and am finding that positive attention is the bee's knees! I am adjusting to being a house dog, and I like it! I'm picking up on my commands and learning to settle down. Leash manners and being less mouthy are also on my agenda. I don't really like my crate after 3 years in a kennel, but I am doing a little better every day. I do have my potty manners down! Other dogs are pretty awesome, but I need to learn proper play. I don't know much about cats yet. I absolutely need a family with GSD experience that will understand me and my needs because I don't really understand them myself yet. But I am willing and anxious to find out.
I also need my family to be kind, because I still get scared and pancake if you move to fast, especially around my head.
If you are looking for a loyal and loving new pal, and are willing to help me become the best version of a GSD, I would love to meet you!
