A HUGE dog which is almost 4ft tall and weighs an enormous 12.7st is in need of being rehomed.<\/p>\n

Major, an 11-year-old Anatolian Shepherd, suffers from osteoarthritis due to his monster-frame and needs a ramp to get into a car.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

He is the biggest pooch the Dogs Trust in Loughborough have ever cared for – but volunteers say he's a "gentle giant", who just needs a loving home.<\/p>\n

Celine Di Crocco, rehoming centre manager at the trust, said: "Major is the biggest dog we have ever cared for.<\/p>\n

"Despite his size, he embodies the gentle giant spirit that has endeared him to everyone at the rehoming centre.<\/p>\n

"Major's story serves as a powerful reminder of the responsibilities that come with pet ownership and the potential weight management challenges in dogs.<\/p>\n

"While being a bigger dog might mean there's more of him to love, it's essential that owners understand the importance of supporting their dog to maintain a healthy weight to prevent some of the health issues that come as a result of obesity."<\/p>\n

Major is on a weight-loss programme which includes regular exercise and a carefully-managed diet.<\/p>\n

According to the Dog's Trust, Major gobbles up three 330g portions of senior dog food a day.<\/p>\n

The charity says he enjoys human company and would love to live in a home where he can be surrounded by people.<\/p>\n

Despite his age, he loves playing chase and running around with other dogs.<\/p>\n

Major is now seeking a permanent and loving home to call his own.<\/p>\n

He can live with children aged 12 years and over, and the possibility of living with another calm dog exists, pending successful introductions at the centre.<\/p>\n

However, households with cats or small animals may not be suitable for Major.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, he could potentially thrive in an environment with other large animals, such as livestock or horses.<\/p>\n
