About Max
Imagine being a much loved family member having a warm bed knowing treats and good food are a daily occurrence.
Then the whole world changes and you are in a cell with concrete floors and dry uneatable kibble. No loving voice or soft hand now to caress you.
This is what happened to this dear boy Max’s a seven year old black and tan long coat German Shepherd who was surrendered to a country pound as his owners didn't have the time for him.
Max is needing a home where he can connect with his family and show how much love he can give to his humans. He just wants cuddles and a family who will bring back the joy and warmth of being with his family.
Max is an active dog who will be suited to a home with a family that have experience with the German Shepherd breed and have the time and commitment to dedicate to this dog.
We want Max to go to a home where he will be an integral family member. He may be suitable to go to a home with young children as he is a quiet dog and gentle boy and only weighs 31 kilo, but the children must have lived with a German Shepherd before.
Max will receive one on one training with our Dog Trainer - Bear The Dog Behaviourist and has learnt to walk beautifully when he is walked on lead. He needs to go to a home with a family who have knowledge of the breed and have owned a German Shepherd or another large breed dog.
He has lived with a small poodle but not been tested with cats or pocket pets at this stage.
Max is a good car traveller and loves interacting with people.
Intelligence, loyalty, love and companionship is what Max will give in abundance when he connects and builds that trust with his new owner.
If you understand the nature of the German Shepherd, have recently owned this breed, and are looking for a companion dog then please consider Max.
If you think you can give me a new home please contact us by selecting "Enquire about Max".
Medical notes
Max is microchipped and desexed and will be vaccinated soon. Max is in good health and will be hydrobathed and groomed.
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.
This pet has been adopted and found love with its new family.
