Major's Story

Hi, my name is Major! I'm a PURPLE pawprint, which means I will fit well into a home that meets some specific criteria. Here is what would work best for me in my new home:<br/>-Personality: Loving, adventurous, intelligent<br/>-Can Live with Kids: Unknown history with kids so we are recommending kids 12 years and older at this time.<br/>-Can Live with Cats: Not recommended due to unknown history and breed.<br/>-Can Live with Dogs: No, as of right now Major needs to work on reactivity with other dogs before he actually lives with one.<br/>-Can do Apartment Living: No, Major was previously an outdoor only dog so apartment living would be too much of an adjustment for him.<br/>-Potty Trained: Seems to be.<br/>-Bite History: No<br/>-Positive Reward Based Obedience Classes Required: Highly recommended but not required.<br/>-Energy Level: High<br/>-Needs Medical Procedure Before Going Home: Yes a neuter<br/>-Additional Information: <br/>Despite a difficult start, Major has shown resilience and the potential to thrive in the right home. Major is currently receiving treatment for significant skin issues that were present at intake. While the underlying cause of his hair loss is unknown, his condition has shown noticeable improvement with a hypoallergenic diet and consistent flea prevention. Adopters will be fully responsible to continue his medical journey to ensure his coat and skin continue to improve. This could include allergy tests, bloodwork, etc so please keep this in mind. An ideal home for Major would be active and structured, with adopters who understand the exercise and enrichment needs of the German Shepherd breed. Prior breed experience would be beneficial. With consistency, appropriate care, and an engaged handler, Major has the potential to become a dedicated and rewarding companion.<br/>If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website (www.whatcomhumane.org/adopt) or in person at our facility. We recommend calling into the shelter after your application has been submitted so our front desk can give you next steps on our adoption process.
