Maximus - Great Pyrenees and Anatolian Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Bolivar, Tennessee

Meet our resident "Teddy Bear", Maximus. Maximus and his buddy Pedro had been roaming a small town west of the shelter and were
picked up by Animal Control. This big fluffy fella is as sweet and gentle as they come. He loves everyone and plays in the play yard with other pups. He had a visit from a little girl where he just laid over in her lap for petting. Everyone LOVES this boy!! He is heartworm positive and has started slow kill treatment in the shelter. Don't let this handsome sweet fella get away!!
*ANY DOG that is NOT spayed/neutered WILL BE BEFORE BEING ADOPTED OUT. We cannot attest to housebroken status as our dogs are kenneled about 22 hours a day.
