Our beloved family member Max, a 3-year-old tan and black German Shepherd weighing approximately 75 pounds, went missing on the afternoon of May 27th near Lithia Pinecrest Road close to Brandon Town Center. Max was wearing a blue collar with an ID tag and is an incredibly friendly dog who responds to his name.

We're heartbroken and asking our Valrico neighbors to please keep a watchful eye for him. If you've spotted a friendly German Shepherd in our area or have any information about Max's whereabouts, please reach out immediately. He means the world to our family, and we're hopeful the community can help bring him home.
