The book is about a German Shepherd dog named Maximillian who is injured in a fire. He is then rebuilt using robotic/bionic parts. The author is a woman and is likely either British or German.

Not a book, but the TV series The Bionic Woman had a bionic German Shepherd named Max. Maybe some sort of novelization?
Additional information I left out of my original query: this book was most likely published between 1965 and1975.
A different breed, but this reminds me of Max: The dog that refused to die by Kyra Petrovskaya Wayne – lost dog from a scary German breed, author was American but raised in Russia and as the narrator comes across as not American, dog is lost/injured and has to be nursed back to health. Late 1970s publication.
I think Megan has it, the Bionic Woman. All those tv series had books featuring the characters. Try “The Bionic Woman Annual; Featuring Maximillian the Bionic Dog”, published in 1978, though I expect other Bionic Woman books also had that character
