Adopted!

Max is a gentle, 5-year-old, male German Shepherd Dog who has been a country dog for his entire life. His owners surrendered him to the shelter with the comment that he is an escape artist. While true, it is obvious that he has had insufficient attention paid him. He knows the basic obedience commands and responds to "come", "sit" and to his name, all evidence that someone worked with him. But he lives to please, and relishes attention. That said, he will not cling nor be under foot at all times. He is happy to be near you. With an 18-month-old in the house, he is careful not to bump or play roughly, but walks carefully around and watches over her. He is very friendly towards all people, and is at ease among dogs and cats, and made no fuss with the dog-of-the-house upon his arrival. His country background lends itself to his love of getting out to run and explore. He is high energy when outside exploring, but is very calm around the house. He appears somewhat cautious about playing but enjoys the attention, and he is putting on some well-needed weight while getting plenty of exercise in his foster home. This boy will be/is the quintessential family dog with his good nature, great people and animal attitudeneeds love and attention and 'lots of exercise. He is a wonderful dog.
