Maximus
Animal Interaction Observations
All interaction between animals should be supervised at all times.
Child Interaction Observations
All interaction between animals and children should be supervised at all times.
Maximus loves to play. A tennis ball and a willing human are what he wants most. He is a good boy and will go in his crate with his toys. This handsome boy is energetic, athletic and may be an agility candidate. He is very snuggly with humans. This sweet boy will become very still and lean against his humans when being scratched on the head or stroked down his back. He does not interact with other dogs, so he may be happiest in a home with no other dogs. With his high energy level and athleticism, he would do well in a home with humans who are experienced with German Shepherds who are energetic. The perfect home will be owners who themselves are already physically active and will include Mackey on walks, runs, hikes or other dog-friendly adventures who have the time to provide a commitment to Maximus providing daily physical and mental stimulation.
NOTE: In our experience many German Shepherd Dogs are very good with kids. In our bios, we may provide information on our experience with a particular dog and children. However AGSDR discourages ALL unsupervised animal/child interaction. Children should be supervised at all times when they interact with ANY animal, whether it is a horse, dog, cat, bunny, lizard, or any other species. Even loving household pets can have a grumpy day, or otherwise get tired of a child's attention, so proper supervision is essential for the well being of any child and any pet.
The entire biography of this dog is based solely upon our volunteers' experiences with the dog. The dog's age and weight are estimates, and statements about the health, temperament, training, and ability to get along with other animals, children, cats and other dogs, are estimated solely based on our volunteer's experiences with this dog. Your experiences with this dog may be quite different than those of our volunteers.
