My name is Messi. I was adopted at the North Shore Animal League in Port Washington, N.Y. when I was only 8 weeks old.

I am a very playful, gentle, calm pooch who tends to be lazy and prefer to play while lying down.

I am very attached to my Dad and do not like being apart from him for too long.

I love to chew on my monkey plush doll and to have my belly rubbed.

Please call my family if I end up being lost so that I may see them again and be happy.

I do not attack nor bite so please do not be afraid of me, I may just be scared and sad.

I will be very grateful if you help me, thank you.
