Meet Messi

Messi was abandoned at the vet when he was diagnosed with Addison's Disease. Straydog rescued him and believe that he deserves a chance for a good life just like his name sake, the famous Argentine soccer player, Lionel Messi. His disease is easily controlled with a daily steroid pill. He can live a long and happy life. He is a typical loving little puppy. He loves to play with his toys, is affectionate, loving, and like to sit in your lap. He is leash trained and is in the process of getting all of his puppy vaccinations and will be neutered and microchipped soon. Messi is waiting for you to come and meet him. He will melt your heart.
