About Max
Max is a classic German Shepherd in every sense: strikingly handsome, keenly intelligent, and fiercely loyal. At five years old, he sports a thick black and brown coat and alert, expressive ears that catch everything. He’s got the smarts and sporty drive typical for his breed, thriving on structure, daily activity, and—ideally—a purpose or job. Max knows basic commands and is house trained, but his energy can get the better of him when meeting people, leading to excited jumping and leash pulling. He’ll benefit from further training and someone who values his quick mind. Max’s ideal home has an experienced, confident handler who enjoys an active lifestyle and will help him channel his athleticism and curiosity in positive ways. He keeps a close eye on his surroundings, so extra attention to gate latches and fences is wise. Despite a few enthusiastic quirks, there’s no shortage of devotion or affection in Max. He’s ready for a home where adventure—and a strong bond—matter. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
