Marcus von Messi is a gorgeous 3 year old German Shepherd. This handsome boy will happily lean into you for affection, soaking up pets from head to tail. He thrives on connection with his people and is always eager to please, making him a rewarding partner for someone who appreciates both his devotion and his drive. Marcus is a smart, active dog who truly enjoys training and having a job to do. He already knows his “sit” command, takes treats gently, and has made impressive progress with his leash skills. With our trainers, he walks beautifully in a heel position, often checking in and looking up for guidance. He’ll do best with an experienced owner who can continue to build on this strong foundation and help him reach his full potential. He is friendly and enjoys meeting new people. He has also made great strides with other dogs. He can meet them calmly on leash and walk alongside them, though he prefers not to engage in socializing. In play groups, he’s well-mannered, politely greeting newcomers before choosing to stick close to his humans and observe the action rather than join in. Marcus is looking for a home that understands his needs and will continue to guide him with structure, consistency, and love. He also needs a home that is free of small dogs or cats. If you’re searching for a loyal, affectionate, and striking companion who will be by your side through every adventure, Marcus is ready to be your devoted partner.

Rescued from the Devore animal shelter.
