About May

Click apply to start the adoption process. At approximately 10 months old and weighing around 70 pounds, May is a beautiful young Rottweiler/German Shepherd mix with a striking black and tan medium coat. She was surrendered when her previous elderly owner, who received her as a gift, could no longer provide the care or training a large, active dog like May needs. Life at the shelter has been overwhelming for her, as she missed out on vital early socialization experiences, leaving her unsure of new people and lacking leash manners. Despite these challenges, May has a truly golden heart and endless potential for the right experienced adopter. She is house trained, which will make her transition into a new home easier. While her previous owner claimed she was friendly toward other pets, staff have not been able to confirm this. May is searching for a dedicated and patient adopter who understands the needs of large, sensitive breeds and who is ready to give her the training, love, and social confidence she deserves.
