(crossposting this....his face is SO terribly sad...if ANYONE can help, please contact the shelter directly!!!! the number is listed below ) Max is in the midst of a serious mid-life crisis - its not this fault - he's a gentle 7 year old shepherd male who was just left at the shelter by his owner. His sad eyes tell the little bit of the story that we know - he's sad and scared and disappointed and wants to live in a house again with a family!! He comes to the front of his cage very quietly and politely, and he's such a gentleman on his leash - he walks slowly next to you and stops when you do. There's such sadness in his eyes - you just can't help but hug him and tell him it will be okay - except we all know how many middle aged dogs never make it out of the shelter. He gets along well with the two puppies sharing his cell and he seems quite mellow. He gently takes treats from your hand and loves to press himself against you when you scratch behind his ears. His coat is dirty and he is so skinny - this sweet guy deserves a better home for the next part of his life. A nice dog bed and or a spot on the couch and a bully stick and he'll think he's in heaven. Please contact the South LA shelter at 213-985-0117 if you can save Max.
