Pato is a very handsome and affectionate young German Shepherd. We are not sure about his age, but more likely under 2 years old. He was neglected, malnourished and possibly abused most of his young life; however, he’s gradually recovering and gaining weight. 

He’s full of love and a happy soul that yearns for affection and companionship. He’s the 1st one at the door to welcome you and will not leave your side. 

He’s also very loyal, and protective of his home and family but not aggressive. He has a very gentle nature.

He is good with other dogs and children but still learning how to properly socialize and be aware of his size.

He loves to cuddle, give wet kisses, play ball and take naps. He’s also very trainable and food motivated. He can sit, give you his paws for cleaning after a muddy run, and he also can bark on command to ask for permission to go out. 

He’ll need a patient, and caring handler to teach him proper manners, but he’s a quick learner and likes to please. He just needs a chance to express all his affection.

Pato is being fostered in Vallejo
