My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Maximo! Maximo, or Max/Maxi as we call him here, is a German Shepherd who is a good boy but needs a Shepherd savvy person in his life to help him be the best dog he can be. He is very sweet and when he loves you he LOVES you. He does have some fence/barrier reactivity which is common with Shepherds with people they don't know. He gets along with most dogs, but not all. He has lived with cats and small dogs and reportedly did fine and was surrendered due to a new baby coming into the home (we are told he doesn't love small children, but has lived with all older children without problems). He is housetrained and keeps his kennel clean here. He is a big boy and normally is around 80 lbs. His adoption fee is $120 and includes his neuter, microchip, vaccinations and negative heartworm test. Please call 630-553-9256 or email animalcontrol@Kendallcountyil.gov if you are interested in adopting.

More about this shelter

Kendall County Animal Control is the county agency responsible for enforcement of the state statutes governing rabies control in domestic companion animals. The State of Illinois requires that all dogs are vaccinated against rabies by a licensed veterinarian. Compliance with this law is monitored through the issuance of rabies tags for all dogs residing in the county. All dogs are required to wear their rabies tags when off of the owner's property. If a pet is lost, rabies tags also provide an excellent means of identifying your pet.

Kendall County Animal Control also enforces the county's ordinance that prohibits dogs from running at large in unincorporated residential subdivisions, investigates reports of animal bites, and will pick up contained stray dogs in unincorporated Kendall County during operating hours. Stray and owner released cats and dogs may also be brought to the facility during business hours. Cats and dogs are available for adoption at the facility.
