How do I contact the shelter about Max?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hundehoffnung-Berlin handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Max on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Max if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hundehoffnung-Berlin will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

Is Max already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?

Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.

What happens if Max isn't the right fit?

Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Hundehoffnung-Berlin early rather than rehoming privately; they know Max and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.

Max

Havanese · Male · Senior · 9 years

Der süße Max wurde im November 2023 geboren und bringt mit seinen 7,5 kg die perfekte Größe für viele Lebenssituationen mit. Der charmante Malteser-Pudel-Mix wartet derzeit bei unserer Tierschützerin Vasilika in Mazedonien auf seine zweite Chance. Max lebt seit etwa zwei Monaten bei Vasilika. Sie hoffte die ganze Zeit, dass seine Besitzer sich melden und ihn wieder abholen würden – doch dieser Anruf blieb leider aus. Nun ist klar: Max sucht Menschen, die ihm ein liebevolles Zuhause für immer schenken. Der junge Rüde zeigt sich als freundlicher und sozialer Hund, der sich mit seinen Artgenossen bestens versteht. Aktuell lebt er problemlos mit anderen Hunden zusammen und genießt deren Gesellschaft. Typisch für einen Mix aus Malteser und Pudel ist Max intelligent, lernfreudig und sehr menschenbezogen. Diese Hunde lieben die Nähe zu ihren Menschen, sind verschmust und möchten am liebsten überall mit dabei sein. Gleichzeitig bringen sie eine fröhliche, verspielte Art mit und freuen sich über gemeinsame Aktivitäten ebenso wie über gemütliche Kuschelstunden. Nun fehlt Max nur noch das Wichtigste: seine eigene Familie, die ihn nie wieder im Stich lässt und ihm zeigt, wie schön ein behütetes Hundeleben sein kann. Wer schenkt diesem kleinen Schatz sein Happy End? Max ist geimpft, entwurmt, gechipt, kastriert und hat alle tierärztlichen Voruntersuchungen und einen aktuellen Mittelmeertest. Achtung: Ein Hund zeigt sich im Tierheim oft anders als dann im neuen Zuhause – Rückschritte sind nicht unüblich. Es bedarf viel Liebe und Geduld von Euch. Bitte adoptiert nur, wenn Ihr Euch dessen bewusst und bereit seid, sein Leben lang für ihn Verantwortung zu tragen.

About Max

What life with Max looks like

Max is a small senior havanese dog waiting at Hundehoffnung-Berlin in Germany.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.
