Major and his siblings when they were young puppies gave up for protection only.
Several photos on the Facebook page of the group show Biden posing with the dog, including one of the pairs who apparently looks at Major’s pictures when he was a little puppy.
“We are so pleased to welcome Major to the Biden family, and we are grateful to the Delaware Human Association for their work to find homes for large and countless other animals,” said Joe and Jill Biden and the family’s other German herdsman Champ in the association statement.

When the family got Champ 2008, Joe Biden received some criticism from animal insurance advocates to go to a large volume of breeders rather than a protection or rescue group.
On Saturday, many Bidens promised to choose to assume protection.
Patrick Carroll, Managing Director of the Delaware Human Association, said it was “a glory” to send a major to Bidens.
We wish the happy new family the best!
