About Max - 4 year old
Max is a four year old pedigree German Shepherd, whose owners need to find him a new home as they are moving into a retirement home.
Max was a very much loved family dog. He is great with the grandchildren but hasn't lived with young children. Due to his size he would not be suitable for young children.
He walks well on a lead and currently goes on 6km walks daily. He is also social with other dogs in the dog park.
Max is looking for a family who will provide him with inclusion in the home and allow him the time to reconnect and gain trust with his new human family.
Max hasn't lived with another dog, so we aren't sure how he would go with another dog in the same home. Max hasn't been tested with cats or pocket pets.
Being a large breed dog we are seeking a home who have owned and have had experience with a large breed dog or preferably a German Shepherd dog.
We always recommend to continue training when you take your dog home. Training doesn’t have to be a chore – it can be a fun experience for you both, it doesn’t have to take long and is a great way for you to bond with your new dog.
If you can see yourself with this beautiful boy in your home please "Enquire for Max" and we will send you our application form.
If you live in Queensland or Victoria, you can be considered, however you will need to be able to drive to Merrylands with your family. If for any reason he doesn't fit your family you will be responsible for looking after him and helping us to rehome from your home.
Medical notes
Max will be vaccinated and desexed before going to his new home.
Adoption details
We have an Adoptions Manager who screens all prospective candidates as to their suitability to adopt a German Shepherd Dog.
We try to contact every one by phone but if that isn't successful we will email our application form to you, which needs to be completed and returned, or you can call us back and we can chat and complete for you. We will also ask you to provide photos of your yard and fencing to enable us to see where the dog will be kept and that they have areas of shade and shelter.
All our dogs are ready to go to their new home, so when you enquire about a dog you must be in a position to take them into your home. We are unable to hold a dog while you fix your fences or go on holiday, etc.
The successful candidate who adopts one of our dogs is provided with an information kit, ongoing support, training and advice on all aspects of feeding, training and general assistance to ensure both the new owner and our rescued dog settle into their home.
