Maximus is a 6 year old purebred German Shepherd, who has not had an easy life. He was brought into the veterinary hospital I work at to be euthanized by his owner. After moving from GA to Ohio, and being kept in a crate in the garage for months with no socialization, except when his owner took him out to use the bathroom 3 times a day, Max was involved in 2 minor bite incidents and his owner decided she could no longer keep him and she was going to have him put to sleep. After meeting Max and seeing that he is not an aggressive dog, I convinced her to give me a little time to try to find him placement. She agreed, but changed her mind again yesterday and said If I didn't take him by the end of the day, she was bringing him back to the vet to be euthanized today. Max is with me now, but this is only a very temporary solution. I have an alpha male, who will not accept Max and I also have cats, who are at risk while he is here. In order to place him, he needs to be neutered, vaccinated, heartworm tested and have a lump on his leg checked out. Please help and donate if you can, no amount is too small and every penny will help get Max ready for a new home, where he will be loved and cherished for the rest of his life. Max is a special boy and he is going to make an extremely loyal companion. Thank you for helping me make the rest of his journey a safe and happy one. It truly takes a village to save a life
