Adopt a Pet

A senior German shepherd named Max is looking for his forever home through Joint Animal Services in Olympia, Washington.

 

Calm, gentle, and already fully settled, Max arrives with the kind of quiet dignity that makes an immediate impression on everyone he meets.

 

He gets along well with both small and large dogs, making him a flexible fit for a wide range of households.

 

His needs are simple — a soft place to rest, leisurely walks, and steady companionship.

 

For anyone who ever wanted a German shepherd but dreaded the puppy phase, Max is a rare find.

 

The adoption fee is $110, covering spay or neuter, microchipping, vaccines, deworming, and flea prevention — exceptional value for a dog who already knows how to be at home.

 

Senior dogs consistently wait longer at shelters, even as interest in dog adoption across Washington state continues to grow.

 

Call ahead to confirm availability — his golden years are waiting.
