Calling all experienced shepherd owners and lovers. Max is a big lovable boy who weighs in at 110 pounds. This handsome hunk came to the shelter after his previous family had some lifestyle changes and they could no longer give him the attention, love and exercise he required. Max is looking for a strong and skilled leader who can provide him with everything he needs to live out a happy and healthy life. Being that he is so large, a large home with a yard will be very important for him. Max is playful and true to his breed, is obsessed with tennis balls and always enjoys a good game of catch. As mentioned above we are looking for an experienced shepherd owner for Max, someone who knows their behaviors, quirks and how to handle his size. At times, Max can be stubborn and is looking for a confdent leader who can work on positive reinforcement training to brush up on his skills. He is extremely smart, loyal and is the type of dog who thrives of of a routine schedule. He has been around children in his previous home and enjoys meeting new people. Max will alert you when new guests arrive and makes an excellent alarm system to protect his family. Max has fun meeting like- minded dog friends

Max is available for adoption. SUBMITTED PHOTO

outside of his home, but he has never lived with them and has never been around small animals. He is looking to be the only pet in his next home. Max will make a wonderful companion for some lucky family. If you are interested in learning more about Max and scheduling an appointment to meet with him, please contact the shelter.
