Paul
#GDR-A-59458
Breed
Shepherd, German / Malinois, Belgian
Sex
Male
Age
4 Months old
Paul is a 3 month old German Shepherd puppy (possibly with some Belgian Malinois mixed in, though this is just our best guess based on his appearance, personality, and age since we do not know his parents).
This handsome boy is incredibly smart, sweet, and already showing the loyal and eager-to-learn traits these breeds are known for. Paul is ready to find a forever family committed to helping him grow into the amazing dog he is meant to be.
Like most shepherd-type puppies, Paul will thrive in a home that can provide continued training, structure, physical exercise, and mental stimulation. He is still a baby and will need guidance, consistency, and patience as he learns the world around him.
Paul is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines and preventions.

Something to Consider:
Puppies don't train themselves
If you aren’t willing to train a puppy every single day, don’t get a puppy! It isn’t a one-shot deal. You have to be dedicated. And if you aren’t making progress – find someone who can help. Enroll in a puppy training class or hire a trainer. Most cities across the nation have some sort of availability for this kind of help and at different cost levels that would fit your budget.
Puppies are going to poop a lot and pee even more; chew on everything; bite everyone; scratch people and furniture; steal things; destroy something at some point; pull on the leash; not move at all on the leash; bark; cry; beg for attention; and the list goes on. You’re going to have to walk them, bathe them, pick up everything below waist height, buy new shoes, and most importantly: TRAIN THE PUPPY NOT TO DO THESE THINGS! Ultimately, it is your responsibility to teach your puppy that this behavior is unacceptable.
Puppies turn into dogs...
