Max, 9 year old Doberman mix. Maximus, better known as Max, is looking for a home that he can just chill and relax.

Max loves running in the backyard along with his foster brother and sisters. He is a little aloof and likes to keep to himself when the young ones are running down the fence line barking at passing cars.

Max is currently in a foster home with large, medium and small dogs. Great with other dogs and fine with cats, curious but gentle.

Very calm, stoic personality, would be fine as an only dog or with others.

Please share and drop us a note for more information or to meet him.

I just don’t get it. A friend sent me this article and it made me cry. The cost of the puppy mill dog at $4,700 could save 40 dogs in the shelter. Forty dogs for the price of one designer puppy!! Please educate yourself and understand that dogs in shelters are amazing. Not only do you get a wonderful life-long friend that needed saving, but you pay a small adoption fee. Shelter dogs come vaccinated and spayed or neutered. This article from the New York Post makes me sick as the writer never even mentions shelter dogs or rescuing as an option. It goes to show that so many people need to be educated on the pets in shelters/rescues. These people also need to understand where these high price tag dogs come from. Do your homework and look up puppy mill dogs before you pay for that designer dog in the window. Would you rather save a life or support cruelty? I thought you loved dogs?? Please SHARE. I am trying so hard to help educate but I need you to share this message and ask people to follow me. I will show them the many faces of shelter dogs. I promise not to disappoint. ❤️

Hey everyone - we are seeing a lot of posts about good Samaritans who have found a stray pet and are either keeping them, giving them away to someone else, or giving them to a rescue. We realize that this is all with good intentions but did you know that this is actually considered theft? If you find a stray dog, please contact us! Most owners who have lost a pet call us first and then take to social media to find their pets IF they have social media. Owners aren't going to look for their pets at YOUR house or someone else's for that matter! Citizens who found a pet and want to keep it are welcome to adopt the pet if an owner doesn't come forward but the only way to legally do so is through the animal shelter. If someone else wants to adopt or a rescue wants the pet you found - bring it to the shelter and have them contact us. That way all parties have made a legal transaction and no one can get in legal trouble. Citizens and rescues have zero protection when it comes to the transfer of pets. There is no law that divests ownership when you give a person or rescue a pet that doesn't belong to you. In the eyes of the law, it would be the same as finding a bike and then selling it. It's considered theft. We know you want to keep pets out of the shelter and we do too but the safe and legal way to transfer ownership is to bring the pet to us. If you have any questions about this, please email or call the GCARC.

TODAY, June 30th, our favorite behaviorist returns for a critically important conversation on pet anxiety and the events of the summer from fireworks to thunderstorms that can put our pets into full anxiety.

While we all love a good fireworks display and thunderstorm, many pets DO NOT! Join us for strategies to calm our furry-friends.
