MARCO's Story
Hi, I'm Marco! <br/><br/>I'm a 1.5-year-old Shepherd mix looking for a fresh start and a family of my own.<br/><br/>I came to the shelter as a stray in pretty rough shape. I was extremely underweight, but despite everything, I've stayed friendly and loving with the people around me. I absolutely love attention and am always happy to make new human friends!<br/><br/>Because I went so long without enough food, treats are basically my love language these days! The good news is that being food motivated makes me eager to learn, and I think I'll be a lot of fun to train.<br/><br/>I haven't officially been introduced to other dogs yet, but staff thinks I should do well with proper introductions. I haven't met any cats at the shelter either, but they'll update my profile once they learn more!<br/><br/>I'm still a young guy, and while I haven't been around children here, the staff expects I'd do well with respectful kiddos.<br/><br/>Life at the shelter has been pretty stressful for me, so we're not sure if I'm fully potty trained. Staff suspects I may have spent most of my life outdoors, but with a consistent schedule, patience, and positive reinforcement, they think I'll catch on quickly!<br/><br/>What I need most right now is someone willing to see past where I started and focus on where I'm headed. I've already come a long way. Now I'm just waiting for a family to help me write the next chapter. <br/><br/>Neutered | Microchipped | Heartworm negative | Up to date on vaccines & monthly preventatives.
