About Max

Max is a gentle, timid German Shepherd who is learning to navigate the world around him. He’s partially house trained and does well in a crate. While he pulls on the leash during walks, he knows commands like sit, stay, and come. Max is friendly with people and loves children, making him a good match for a family environment. He can be nervous in the car and tends to be vocal when someone knocks on the door. Although Max has lived with cats in the past, he is scared of them and prefers to keep his distance unless they approach him in a friendly way. He’s not aggressive towards them or other dogs he encounters; rather, he remains non-reactive. If you’re patient and willing to help him build confidence, Max could become your loyal companion.
