Posted Breed: German Shepherd Dog (medium coat). Update 7/30: We have recently learned that Max's hip implant has become infected. This was a known and unfortunate potential consequence of surgery

, but the small percentage of cases where this occurs was not enough to deter surgery. We are in the process of figuring out the next steps, but please keep Max in your thoughts while we do and we will post additional information as we have it. Max is a very loyal and playful boy in search of the right home. As an added plus, he has a TON of personality! Max is housebroken, well behaved when left home alone, walks well on a leash (mostly), and knows at least a dozen commands thus far. He is great with other dogs and the resident people in his own home, but unpredictable with strangers and visitors, especially in his home. Max's "stranger danger" issues mean that he will do best if placed in a home that doesn't have a lot of visitors inside of the house and with a family who is prepared to work with his social anxieties and fear aggression. If given the appropriate amount of time and experiences, Max does warm up to others, but it is a process that requires time, patience and a good trainer. He has made more friends (canine & human alike) in his foster's neighborhood while on their walks than any dog before him, but in the same breath he's likely scared more visitors away from his foster home than any dog before him. Max was diagnosed with bilateral hip dysplasia last spring and had a Total Hip Replacement of his left hip this winter. He has recovered nicely and is getting back to his normal exercise routine which currently includes several long walks each day. Many thanks to all who donated to Max's Medical Fund ! Now that Max's is healed he is ready for his forever home, could it be yours? If you think you might be interested in adopting or fostering-to-adopt Max, please feel free to reach out to his foster mom at furryfriends24@yahoo.com with any questions you may have! If you are not yet approved to adopt from All Shepherd Rescue, please fill out our online application at www.allshepherdrescue.com. Our adoption fee is $300.00.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
