Max - Anatolian Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Chehalis, Washington

I am available!
I was brought in as an owner surrender due to no fault of my own. I am a very sweet and friendly boy, estimated to be just over 1.5 years old. I am a very large boy, weighing in at around 90lbs. I am an Anatolian Shepherd- Lab mix that will likely grow to be at least 100+lbs. I am a very sleek and slender boy with not much meat on my bones yet. I am extremely tall and could easily smell countertops and get into things smaller dogs can't. I know some basic commands but could use work with manners and walking on a leash. I have been outdoors most of my life, so I am not housetrained. I get along well with other friendly dogs, but I need a home with NO cats! I have not been around young kids but did great with teens. Due to my sheer size and puppy tendencies, I would likely knock over small kids with excitement. I am not yet neutered, but I have an appointment scheduled on Sep. 15th. I am already vaccinated and microchipped, now ready to meet my new loving family!

The Anatolian Shepherd is a large and powerful ancient breed known for its loyalty, intelligence, and protective nature. Originating in Turkey, these dogs were bred to guard livestock from predators, showcasing their strong natural instincts. Anatolian Shepherds have a distinctive short double coat that comes in various colors, with a black mask common on their faces. They require early socialization and consistent training to manage their independent yet devoted temperament effectively.
