About Major

Major first landed in an overcrowded, high-risk shelter that nearly ended his story, but his life turned around thanks to rescue intervention. His original family never gave him rules or direction; once Major grew large and powerful, they simply couldn’t manage him anymore. Now, after completing a thorough board and train program, Major really shines with firm structure—he knows commands and thrives on having clear expectations. Major isn’t suited for just any home; he needs a truly experienced handler who respects his strength and intelligence and can give him the stable environment he’s always needed. He is not a match for households with other dogs or cats. Major is looking for a leader who will maintain all he’s learned and treat him like the extraordinary dog he is.
