Big Max
German Shepherd Cross
Big Max is a beautiful shepherd cross who found himself back at Assisi through no fault of his own. This gentle giant is loved by staff, quick to warm up to familiar faces and greets those he trusts with bonding enthusiasm, a wagging tail and playful energy. On walks he is strong on the lead but loves to sniff, and he can now cope with other dogs and strangers at a distance.
In the care of Assisi Animal Sanctuary, Down.
