Maxi needs a foster carer
About Maxi
Maxi is a beautiful sable six year old female German Shepherd who is urgently looking for her new home, as her owner is moving into a unit and she will not cope.
Maxi has been living with a two year old male Kelpie and is currently with an old male Border Collie. She loves going for her morning walk/run usually 5 km.
She has lived with older children but due to her size and energy levels may not be suitable to go to a home with young children. She loves playing fetch with a ball or stick.
Maxi has had training to be a search dog but her recall wasn't sufficient. She has been a family dog but would pick up the basic commands easily.
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.
Maxi is currently available for adoption in NSW, ACT, Queensland and Victoria, If you live in Queensland or Victoria, you can be considered, however you will need to be able to drive with your family to meet her. If for any reason she doesn't fit your family you will be responsible for bringing her back to Sydney.

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.
