Messi - Reduced Adoption Fee

Hi, I'm Messi!<br/><br/>I came to Mississauga Animal Services after being surrendered, and now I'm looking for my unicorn home-a special family that can help me continue to grow into the big sweetheart the shelter staff know and love.<br/><br/>I'm a 4-year-old American Bulldog mix. I'm neutered, microchipped, dewormed, and fully vaccinated, so I'm ready to start my next chapter.<br/><br/>I've had a bit of a rough journey. Before arriving at the shelter, I spent some time struggling on the streets, so I can be cautious around new people at first. The shelter calls it "stranger danger." Once I trust you, though, I'm incredibly sweet and affectionate. I tend to warm up to women a little faster, and I absolutely love working for treats! I'll also make sure you never forget when it's breakfast or dinner time.<br/><br/>I'm a big boy, weighing around 85-90 pounds, so I'll need a confident and capable handler. I'd love a home with access to a backyard where I can toss my toys around, stretch my legs, and enjoy the occasional zoomie session.<br/><br/>When it comes to other dogs, I'm a bit selective. My excited, confident energy can be a lot for some dogs, so proper introductions and compatibility will be important.<br/><br/>I also have food allergies, so I'm currently on a hypoallergenic diet and can only have hypoallergenic treats to help keep me feeling my best.<br/><br/>I'd likely do best in a home without small pets and in an adult-only household (18+).<br/><br/>If you're patient, understanding, and willing to give me the time I need to build trust, you'll discover a loyal, loving companion who's ready to be your best friend. Could that be you?<br/><br/>If you are interested in Messi please contact Mississauga Animal Services at (905)896-5864 opt 3 to book an appointment. His adoption fee has been lowered to the cost of a one year license ($25).
