Hi everyone, unfortunately I’ve had to have Max rehomed, I wasn’t coping at all, he wasn’t responding to training at all well, hiding behind sofa and screaming every time I picked him up, he’s been adopted by a lovely couple who are friends with the lady who came to collect him from me.she works for a rescue charity who deal with dogs like Max, her opinion was that he’s a very scared little puppy who has probably had a very bad experience with the breeder. It was a very tough decision to make but I decided it was the best thing for both of us. The couple who initially fostered him have fallen in love with him and have permanently adopted him, they have a 7 year old German Shepherd bitch who has taken max under her wing and he’s apparently settled really well with them. So a happy ending for Max, he’s got a lovely new family who adore him and can give him the training and leadership that he needs. And a lovely gsd mummy to teach him everything he needs to develop into a well adjusted adult dog. I’ll always think about him but I severely underestimated how much training he would need. I’ve also realised that after the year I’ve had that I was wrong to take on such a massive commitment so soon. He’s a lovely dog and I did love him but it wasn’t enough. He’ll do well with his new home and family. I’m also starting bereavement counselling this afternoon and I’ll be having Oscar again from tomorrow. Hugs to everyone, hope you don’t judge me too harshly.
