Meet Max

Hello. My name is Max. I'm about 1 year old and I weigh about 70 lbs.

I was surrendered to the pound and I am now looking for a loving, shepherd/ malinois savvy family to join.

I would do best with a family experienced with Shepherds or Mals. I do best with men, but might be okay with the right woman.

I NEED training and the pound is requiring anyone that adopts me have training sessions set up before they can take me home. I have been evaluated by AB Canine in Industry, PA and it is preferred that I go to them, but the pound staff may make an exception given the right owner and trainer.

I am very smart and I can be sweet, I just haven't had much consistency or training.

I get along well with most other dogs and I am said to be housebroken.

If you're looking for a sweet dog to add to your family, please consider adopting me.



Our adoption fee is $150.00. The pound DOES NOT accept checks for adoption fees. We're able to accept cash for adoption OR Visa/ Mastercard/ Discover Card. A convenience fee of 2.39% will be applied to all credit/ debit card adoptions. If you intend to do a foster-to-adopt, the fee must be cash. ALL dogs/puppies adopted from our shelter will receive their parvo distemper vaccine, bordetella vaccine, rabies vaccine (if aged at 12 weeks or older), be dewormed with a 3 day course of panacur dewormer, be microchipped, receive their current Ohio dog license and will be spayed or neutered. ALL DOGS/PUPPIES WILL BE SPAYED OR NEUTERED unless a health issue prohibits the surgery from being performed. Not all dogs posted for adoption are spayed/ neutered yet. If you're driving a long distance to adopt, please verify that the vetting process has been completed and dog you're interested in adopting is still available for adoption. The above mentioned vetting is all included in your adoption fee. The adoption fee and what is included in the adoption fee is NON-NEGOTIABLE.



Adoptions MUST be done at the pound and in person as there is paperwork to fill out and an adoption contract that must be signed by the adopter. This means you must be willing to travel to our shelter to adopt.



IF the dog you're interested in adopting has medical conditions or injuries which require medical treatment, we ask that you help with the medical bills so we can continue to help the dogs coming in who need additional vet care.

We are a county run shelter, therefore we cannot control our intake or the health or behavior of the dogs that come in to our shelter.



Although we try our hardest to place all of our adoptable dogs, there are certain circumstances in which any dog in our care could be euthanized at any time and without further notice (IE: sudden untreatable medical condition or injury, temperament or behavioral problems which may not be apparent when the dog first arrives, lack or space, etc.), therefore all dogs at our shelter should be considered urgent. The adoption of a more highly adoptable dog will mean more time for the less adoptable dog in the kennel next to him!



Shelter hours are: Monday-Friday: 8 am- 4 pm

Saturday: 8 am - 11 am.

Sunday: 8 am - 11 am.

Adoptions are always welcome during hours of operation. We will make special arrangements for adoptions in advance.

There is nobody in the office on Saturday and Sunday, so therefore we are unable to answer or return phone calls over the weekend.



Can't adopt a dog? We would love to have more volunteers who are able to spend time with our dogs! The dogs LOVE going for walks and the socialization and exercise helps make the dogs more adoptable.
