Meet Maximilian, a tripod German Shepherd mix who’s 5 ½-years-old and weighs 69 pounds. He likes to play, especially with tennis balls, but his favorite thing is to catch treats in his mouth. He was surrendered to the SPCA of Texas on July 7 because his previous owner could not properly care for him. He may have only three legs, but that does not slow him down. He would do best in a home with no other dogs. Maximilian has been neutered, microchipped and has received all age-appropriate vaccinations. If you’re looking for a big, handsome guy to join you on adventures, he’s the one for you. Come meet him today; his adoption fee is only $25! #155717
