My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

MEET MATTEO!! He is a Long Coated German Shepherd and is truly one amazing dog! Matteo thrives on attention and stimulation, so he will need a home/family where someone is home during the day to keep him physically and mentally engaged. A fenced-in yard is required where he can safely run and play fetch. He has excellent recall, but to give him the freedom he loves, a fence is necessary. Matteo could play all day long with a few naps in between. He loves toys of all kinds, especially balls, squeaky toys, stuffies, and bones. When it’s time to rest, he is content napping at your feet, dreaming about the next time he gets to play fetch.

He has always been an only dog and will be great as an only dog as long as he gets exercise and playtime. He has also enjoyed the company of other dogs and enjoys playing with them! A well trained dog in the home would be fun for him. Matteo is currently living with cats and is completely fine around them. He does like to chase and bat at them to play so we recommend dog savvy cats.

Matteo is extremely smart, he already knows commands like sit, down, wait, leave it, inside, fetch, drop it and more! He is always eager to learn more and please his people. He is housebroken, loves going for car rides and adventures. He is not a fan of being in a crate but he is perfect free roaming the house. He does not have accidents and he does not chew anything except his toys.

Matteo is a natural protector and will bark at strangers when they come in the house. He is all bark and no action! He quickly settles down as soon as he knows that nobody is in danger from a stranger. He is quick to be everyone’s best friend.

He really is an amazing dog. He’s absolutely beautiful and highly intelligent. He will make an amazing companion for an active family who is home during the day that could give him all the attention and love he needs if Matteo sounds like a good fit for you.
