About Max

Adoption Fee: $500
German Shepherd
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Male

Looking for the perfect home for my GSD, Max. I have had Max four years. Recently we moved from a 7 acre farm to a small townhouse. I also went from working from home to being in the office full time. Max is not handling this well and has started showing signs of anxiety and behavioral issues. Max is naughty - if left alone, he will dumpster dive, pull food off the counter, get into anything he can. He is very high energy, vocal, and needy. However, he is incredibly well trained and a great dog when you are home just hanging out. He loves to snuggle and get belly rubs. He needs someone who is home almost constantly and can provide a lot of exercise either in a yard or through numerous walks. He has many dog friends and gets along well with dogs but needs a slow, controlled introduction. He is not the kind of dog you can take to a dog park and set loose or to big events with lots of people (think Farmer's market). He becomes overstimulated and anxious in these situations. He does not like strangers petting him in busy public locations but is great with people who are introduced slowly at home or in a small group setting. He has never shown aggression with people but clearly is uncomfortable in large crowds and not worth the risk. Never been around children. Max has undergone tons of professional training (trainer would like to speak to next owner) and walks on a loose leash at heel, sits, stays, lays down, leave it, get it. I am in no rush to rehome Max and will only consider the perfect home. However, I know he is not living his best life with me and want to find him his perfect situation as I do love him dearly. He is incredibly spoiled - big fluffy dog bed, tons of toys and treats, monthly bark box. I would expect him to receive the same level of love and care just with someone who is home more.
