Hi, I'm Max!
I'm a 10 year old neutered male black Munsterlander / German Shepherd Dog Mix.
Age: Approximately 4 years old
Weight: 57 lbs (underweight)
Physical Description: Short-coated black, rose ears, long tail.
My Story: I'm a 4 year old Munsterlander/German Shepherd mix who was rescued from a dire situation. I was extremely thin and undernourished when I arrived at the shelter, so I'm very thankful to be safe, warm, and well fed. I'm an extra large boy with a lot of energy so I need an active adopter who won't think twice about giving me the exercise I need. I was well cared for at one point in my life, but for the past few months I wasn't living in a house so I'll need a bit of time to transition back to being a house dog. I'm very friendly and really love attention, but I'll need kind and consistent training to help me learn to interact more politely with people. I'm looking for a dog savvy adopter who understands that I have a lot of love to offer, but need regular exercise and some polish on my manners. I've been through a lot, both physically and emotionally, and I'm yearning for a responsible owner who will really care about me. If you can commit to giving me the time, training, and attention I need, you could be the one who gives me the happy ending I deserve! Due to his size and exuberance level, Max is approved for families with children aged 12 and up.
I have been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and I've received routine treatment for internal and external parasites. I have tested negative for heartworm.
