Story
My ex husband adopted him when he was 3 years old only but then he had some skin issues that we have to get him medication to help him and then my ex husband wanted to return him to the shelter but I stopped from doing it. Now that we got a divorce after how many years of being together. I had to move out of his house with my daughter but I could not bring my dog due to the apartment restrictions for pets. If only our new house allows us I will. And one thing too I am a single mom. The dad of my child does not want to give child support. He was nice to keep our dog but he told me that he is my dog and not his so I have to pay for everything that my dog needs. Financially right now I can’t do it anymore. I am really struggling as a single mom but I do not want to give him up at the shelter. He is such a good boy and is potty trained. He is older now and I just want a good person with a good heart to adopt and take good care of him. Please help a single mom and an older dog

Story
Max (watch my video!) was at a distant overcrowded shelter for over a month when his time was up. He had no options left so we rescued him. All the volunteers adore him. Despite having no walks from his shelter kennel once out he is well behaved and great with other large dogs he met at the shelter and volunteers. He needs time to warm up and feel safe then cooperative loves treats and is lovable. Smart and gorgeous. Max did great during his transport car ride but once at a new place he was nervous and confused. Did take treats. Once he knows you he will be your best friend and bodyguard. Max will need an experienced guardian and a home with a yard. For now no kids. More info. to come as he relaxes and learns. 7/1/22: He is now doing great at his foster home with 2 other GSDs. With time he adjusted to new people at home. He is still leary of of strangers. Bonded to his foster mom. Loves his walks/hikes playing ball and relaxing at his foster home. 9/12/21: Sadly when his potential foster home and her 2 GSDs during their two meets her female GSD did not work out with him. The female is less tolerant of new dogs and wants to be the top dog. Max did great with her male dog and social. He loves treats snuggled being petted and enjoyed the attention. Need basic leash training. Poor Max will continue to board until we can find him an experienced foster home that will give him time to warm up and feel safe. Max is boarding until we can find him an experienced and dedicated foster home. Donations needed to help pay for his boarding. To date since 10/20/21 over $4000. 10/1/21: Our volunteers are visiting Max and taking him out for walks and play yard. Doing great and friendly with 2nd visit with female and male with yummy treats and turkey hot dogs. Max goes to male volunteer for hot dogs long walk and fine being petted. Max is a sweetie with people he knows and trust. Max would be a great hiking and home buddy.YouTube: https://youtu.be/veR-UfNMVfgNovember 4, 2024, 2:12 pm
