Description
Max is a young, playful, and incredibly intelligent German Shepherd who’s ready to find a capable, committed home that can help him thrive.
🧠 Smart, Engaging & Full of Life
Max LOVES to play — with toys, objects, you name it. He’s the kind of dog who turns anything into a game, and he lights up when someone interacts with him.
He is very smart, understands commands well, and has a strong recall when out and about. With the right person, he will excel in training, games, and structured enrichment.
💙 Affectionate & Loyal
When he bonds, he bonds deeply. Max is affectionate, responsive, and genuinely wants to please his humans. He thrives when he feels connected and engaged.
⚠️ Needs an Experienced, Active Home
Max has some reactivity toward other dogs. This is something that needs continued work, ideally with someone experienced or willing to follow proper training guidance.
He is NOT suitable for first-time dog owners or homes without time to manage his training and energy.
Max Will Excel With Someone Who:
✔ Loves training and mental stimulation
✔ Can channel his play drive into something constructive (fetch, tracking, obedience, agility, tug with rules, etc.)
✔ Has confidence and calm leadership
✔ Can provide consistent routine and boundaries
✔ Wants a loyal, silly, active companion
🏡 Best Home Environment:
Adult-only or families with older, dog-savvy children
No other pets (unless you’re very experienced and ready to do careful management/training)
Someone active who enjoys outdoor time, training, and working with smart breeds
A home that understands German Shepherd energy and needs
