Max German Shepherd Dog Mix Erin, ON

‘MAX AND MIA’ YEARNING PLEA!.
Our frustrated, sad residents have been at UCHS for many months and have not as yet found a home so they requested to write their own story…and who are we to argue?
I am handsome Max and weigh in at 80 lb, and have a black coat, my littermate and constant companion is attractive Mia who is brown with a black saddle and she is a plump 110lb. We are both healthy German Shepherd dogs 7 years young.

The Shelter Staff have separated us in the last week and we are living in different kennels and although we do not show it outwardly this is breaking our hearts. They think that by separating us we will get used to being by ourselves, as no-one wants us together. Don’t people know that two bonded dogs who love each other are so easy and not so “in your face” with humans…we are praying that a family will take us together I am so worried that it is affecting Mia….I am a man so could handle it, wouldn’t like it, but could handle it..not so gentle Mia …I worry about my sister….I feel her anguish...

We had a normal happy life with the same family living on a horse farm where we were comfortable being near the horses, but our family moved to the city and we were surrendered to UCHS months ago. We are both housebroken, we are tolerant with some dogs and have had no “recorded” exposure to cats at the Shelter. We have lived with a teenager and had experience interacting with a 9 year old in the past and passed with flying colours.. We have medium energy, are good in car/crate and we enjoy demonstrating our knowledge of basic commands. The caregivers tell people we are relaxed dogs, obedient, and my sister Mia is especially quiet.

A word to the wise as German Shepherd Dogs we get joy in chasing wildlife and practice herding and would be most content if we could find a lifestyle similar to that of the past with access to the outdoors on a farm/acreage but also being house dogs we would not be happy relegated to living in a barn. Bottom line: we are looking for love if we get that everything else will fall into place.

We are told we are really endearing and my obsession with “my rock” that I gently pick up and display proudly to anyone watching gives the caregivers pleasure. I love to please and quickly respond when they ask “Where’s your rock” to smiles and laughter….
Anyone who would provide a home for us together will be offered a “two for one” price deal as the Staff would much prefer us not to be separated. Well it is in your hands now..we really don’t want to spend forever in “prison” and look forward to your call.
We promise we will do everything possible to make you never regret your decision.
