About Max

Max is a 3-year-old, neutered male German Shepherd who weighs around 49 pounds. This playful guy is being rehomed due to an allergy in his previous household, so he's looking for a new place to call home. Max thrives in a home with other dogs, though he plays a bit rough, so it's best to supervise interactions. He's good with children and enjoys their company. However, he does not get along with cats. Max is house trained and crate trained but does tend to pull on the leash during walks. He’s a wonderful companion and deserves a loving family that appreciates him for who he is, without any faults on his part. Max is currently in Rochester, NY with New2U Rescues.
